In Lloyd, Kentucky, on U.S. 23, there’s a sign on the Country Music Highway dedicated to renowned fiddler JASON CARTER. It was placed there because of his other accomplishments—the Grammy awards, the worldwide tours, and the many other accolades he’s earned through his music. But for Carter, joining the legendary names honored on that stretch of highway just might mean the most. “There’s a certain sound that’s up there that you just don’t hear anywhere else,” he says. “I think that played a big part in how I sound today.”

📣 TKA Welcomes Ben LaMar Gay!

Ben LaMar Gay is a genuine original. An imbued composer, conjurer, channeler of cosmopolitan Blues and patently eclectic artist who Jeff Parker calls “hands down, one of my favorite musicians on the planet today.” Gay is a Southside Chicago native who was raised in the tutelage of the legendary AACM (Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians).

With his first instrument, the cornet, and an intuitive sense of self-production, in youth he traversed the diversity of the city’s music scenes (jazz, hip hop, house, electronic, rock, avant garde, salsa, latin jazz, et al) before embarking on a several-year residential relocation to Brazil.

Beloved by listeners and collaborators alike for his ability to absorb and poetically refract the sound of any context he’s immersed in, Gay’s return home to Chicago in the early 2010s marked the beginning of a compositional output that has since been referred to by WIRE Magazine as “Pan-Americana.”
