ABOUT A SONGWRITER’S CHRISTMAS

A Songwriter’s Christmas - the popular annual Nashville holiday tradition - now brings the show on the road to select US cities throughout December. Founded and headlined by acclaimed American Roots songwriter, music director and bona fide Christmas Connoisseur Jay Bragg, A Songwriter’s Christmas features new and original holiday music as well as fresh takes of the classics we all know and love performed by some of Nashville’s finest musicians and songwriters.

Presented by the philanthropic Gift of Music Project, a portion of proceeds will be allocated to aiding in music education for disadvantaged communities.

ABOUT JAY BRAGG

American Roots artist Jay Bragg has been on stage performing music his entire life. Raised in New England and based out of Nashville since 2015, Jay is a 3rd generation singer-songwriter and entertainer who played his first show at age 5 and, throughout his 20-year career in music, has written hundreds of songs, recorded 13 albums with his various projects and performed well over 3600 live shows all across America, including concerts with legendary acts like Alan Jackson, Chris Stapleton and Lake Street Dive.

Though having considerable success in country music including winner of New England Music Awards ‘Country Act Of The Year’ in 2015 with his Maine-based act North of Nashville and multiple tours with Alan Jackson, Jay’s music draws on a deeper well of the American roots music he was raised on growing up in a family of musicians dating back to the early 1900s. Elements of the blues, folk, bluegrass and jazz are distinct flavors in the rich gumbo that is the music of Jay Bragg.

With a commitment to harnessing the power of music for public service and a passion for the music of the Christmas season, Jay founded A Songwriter’s Christmas in 2020 - a concert series with the mission of platforming modern-day holiday music - which he specializes in - while aiding in music education for disadvantaged communities through his Gift of Music Project philanthropic fund. In addition, Jay also volunteers weekly as a musical companion for hospice patents, maintaining a family tradition of performing music for senior citizens.
