Thanks for visiting my site. My name is Roy Daye, Jr. and I've been performing as a self-taught solo-acoustic act since 1999. Well, not all self taught.... much credit goes out to local area musicians Jes Seda (1st experience with this kind of music) and Lance Oglesby (coolest guitar player on the planet). They are two of my local influences. Dave Matthews & John Mayer are two of the more popular stars that I attempt to immulate. Please check out my web site and get a copy of my 1st cd "Playing Under The Covers" to hear what I've been listening to. at www.RoyDayeJr.com
It has been a blessing to be able to pick up this wonderful instrument in such a short time and have such a nack for playing songs I loved to listen to as a little boy in the 70's on the AM stations in my parents Ford LTD. Not to mention get groups of people to say "hey, I haven't heard that song in..." or "you cover that well".
I've been blessed with an diverse musical repertoire that keeps my immediate audience on their toes. Neil Young, Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, John Mayer to John Sebastian (the guy who wrote the theme song for "Welcome Back Kotter". I love not being categorized. When people ask, "What type of music do you play?" I just answer "Yes".
If you get a chance, come out and pat your feet while having dinner or a chat with friends and let me possibly play one of your favorites. Or just ask, I love the challenge... 'what doesn't kill you, will make you stronger' (I think).
And to my acoustic inspirations Dave Matthews, Martin Sexton & John Mayer, Eva Cassiday, Keb Moe........ this list is never ending
