“A magnetic shadowman with a swooning vocal...” “Jay Tennant could be the one...” “A powerful new voice in British independent music...” - Henry Yates (NME, Total Guitar, Classic Rock) Vision. Passion. Melody. Music as a way of life. This is the world of Jay Tennant, an enigmatic singer-songwriter from the English heartlands. Walking the tightrope between the bleak and the beautiful, Jay Tennant wraps heart-tugging existential drama into thrilling widescreen epics with sky-scraping choruses. Exhilarating singles ‘Modern Heroes’, The Stranger’ and ‘Sirens’ are a case in point. Blending a starry-eyed vocal swagger reminiscent of an early Richard Ashcroft with a rare lyrical insight, Jay Tennant’s is a voice that demands to be heard. With sparkling post-punk guitars, hook-laden bass and contemporary electro beats completing his signature sound, Jay Tennant is an exciting prospect for any fans of the anthemic 80’s, the darker side of the 90’s and modern-day indie. With two very well-received solo albums ‘From The Far Field’ and ‘Escape Routes’ under his belt, a loyal social media following and having gained regular radio-play on BBC Introducing Coventry & Warwickshire, the scene is set for the release of Jay’s 3rd solo album in 2021. A towering record of crepuscular suburban hymns, ambitious and futuristic in scope and packed with soaring dancefloor-ready anthems - it might just be his masterpiece.
