"Stunning three-part harmonies, soaring fiddles and fearless mandolins … a powerhouse of Americana who can cook up a storm without the need to plug themselves into any cumbersome amplification." Country Music Magazine
"Jaywalkers' musicianship is truly tasty: both deft and impeccable but never soulless, while the players' togetherness and interplay is mesmerising and attention-grabbing"
Folk Radio UK

Mandolin maestro, Mike Giverin is also the chief songwriter, and the band's originals cover themes including the travails of the travelling musician, saving the planet and anything and even tales of being stranded half way up a mountain. All of which stand proudly alongside their clever covers, foot-stomping bluegrass tunes and superb interpretations of old country classics. In Jay Bradberry, the band has a truly sensational lead singer and fiddle player, and double bassist Lucille Williams is one of the best around, breaking out impressive slap bass alongside rock solid timing, taste and tone.
