Jay Buchanan at City Opera House

Known for his towering vocals and preacher-like presence, Buchanan may front one of America's leading rock banks, Rival Sons, but anyone who has met him knows that Jay is a formidable singer-songwriter who became a rockstar by chance.

Taking the time to give air to his more personal writing and penchant for romantic ballads, this show will be a "gloves off, bare knuckles, raw nerve, emotive performance".

With a talent for lyrical narratives that straddle a line somewhere between american gothic and devastating romance, Buchanan holds the audience in rapture, with his observant, cinematically evocative story-telling and disarming sense of humor.

This show will showcase songs from Jay's previous solo work as well as his upcoming solo album Weapons of Beauty.
