How a Building Built for Industry Became Home to the Arts

From automobile to the arts: a history of the Upper Jay Art Center

Tonight is the night! Join us for the 2nd in a series of shows generously sponsored by the town of Jay.

Gear up for another amazing concert in the Recovery Lounge! Isaac Newcomb plays with texture and introspection, groove and self-deprecating humor in his unique flavor of alternative pop. His warm vocals nestle into soundscapes that blend synthesized and environmental sounds: electric pianos morph into burbling creeks; a kick drum is born from a stomp on the Jackrabbit trail. He hopes his songs provide a space to lose yourself, whether in thought or on the dance floor.

This concert is part of a series generously funded by the Town of Jay. As such, it is a FREE event for residents of Jay and the surrounding communities. Donations are still welcome to benefit Upper Jay Art Center and Recovery Lounge. We appreciate RSVP via the event page, or email to [email protected].
