You’ll never find Jay Aymar in a martini bar.
Give him a beer and a toasted western, talk about inexpensive hotels, waitresses at truck stops, and the small towns that dot this country from St. John’s to Vancouver Island, and you’ll find a man you’ll want to be friends with for the rest of your life.
Aymar’s an ordinary guy, with an extraordinary talent. He writes songs — almost every day — and that’s a gift most folk are not blessed with. And, three or four days every week, he’s standing in front of people playing those songs and telling those stories.
Could be in a bar on Toronto’s Danforth Avenue, or a hotel in Humboldt, Saskatchewan, or someone’s living room in Morden, Manitoba. Could be at a festival in British Columbia, or a coffeehouse in New Brunswick, or a tavern in Tobermory.
Wherever you discover him, you know one thing right off: this man’s the real deal. No pretension, no airs, no showbiz bull. Plain as a Tim Hortons double-double and as straight as the highway between Regina and Calgary.
Play this on your next long drive, or late at night with a close friend. And you’ll know the most basic fact about Aymar: without exception, he tells the truth.
And now, as he says at the start of his honest, warm, friendly CD, “Let’s get this party started.”
Come down this Saturday and share a fun night of live music with the talented Jay Aymar.
$12 advance tickets are at Bop City Records. Dinner reservations start at 6:30 p.m. and the show will start just after 8:30.
