Come see a new generation of songwriters in SongSpace Gallery!


Jamie Kunning sings affecting songs of love and growth and recovery in a resonant alto voice over solid ukulele.  She writes, “this gift [of music] has taken me on a journey beyond my imagination. It has given me a medium through which I can express my inner windings of thoughts, emotions, and spirit. It has helped me connect with some of the lovely people whom I get to call friends and countless others who are moved by the nature of my art.  To share this gift is one of my greatest pleasures. I hope it continues to give back.”  She has recorded an acoustic CD, People, and is working on a new EP right now.

 


Jay Michaels was born into a family of musicians spanning back three generations.  As a firefighter, a lot of Jay’s songwriting is inspired by and attributed to his life experiences; from disaster relief to pushing through hard times, he garners a lot of his material by writing music that is not only inspirational, but therapeutic and spiritual as well.  His performances are high-energy and engaging.  Jay’s upcoming debut EP, slated for release in 2018, is a dynamic multi-genre concept and story about addiction and recovery.

 


Joe Bray is a producer, photographer, and performer from Pittsburgh, PA. As a performing musician, he is comfortable in a broad range of genres including folk, country, pop, and rock.  Joe studied music production and engineering at Berklee College of Music in Boston and is finishing a degree in digital media at the University of Pittsburgh.  In addition to performing and studio work, Joe can often be seen in the role of live photographer or videographer at music events and venues around town.  Joe has a new EP coming out too!
