Jay Johnson Music – Unicorn Lates

Who doesn’t love a freebie? Well this Friday those fun and generous people at the Unicorn Theatre are letting the adults play after dark. They are hiding the toys, stocking the Unicornershop with plenty of locally brewed beer and are putting on a later performance for us adults to enjoy, sans children. These are followed by free live music from local or new artists in the foyer and this week is the refreshingly honest music of Jay Johnson. Seeing Jay use his guitar like a pair of bongo drums is worth the trip alone.

He is also resident artist at the world-famous Roundhouse venue in London, and is currently working on an EP at Abbey Road Studios.  So come down, kick off your shoes and get into the weekend mood. You can dance or just ease back and let his beautiful guitar work just waft over you. Either way, let your work detox theraphy begin here.

A bit more about Jay Johnson
Jay Johnson is an award-winning musician and singer-songwriter who moved to London before his teenage years, and began making music from a young age. Jay’s naturally curious mind led him to start learning the cello. He then taught himself how to play the guitar a few years after. Jay started listening to artists such as Bob Dylan, Paolo Nutini, and Ben Howard from his early teens, and as a result their influences can often be seen in his original works.
