Jay Leach will hold a concert in the Canyon Country Room at 8:00 p.m.

 

“This concert’s going to be a riot!” – Jay Leach

 

That’s what Leach had to say when asked what to expect tonight at his concert.  Leach has been playing guitar since he was 8 years old, when his grandma bought him his first steel guitar.  “To her, learning an instrument at eight was a given, and she decided to let me choose the instrument I wanted to play,” says Leach.  And although he initially chose the drums, his grandma told him it was the piano or the guitar.  “I wasn’t going to play the piano…” And so it all began.

Since then, he has worked on American Idol with Kenny Rogers, Carrie Underwood, Martina McBride, and Kelly Pickler.  His music can also be heard in many TV shows such as, Touched by An Angel, Matlock, Murder She Wrote, Lilo and Stitch, and Hey Arnold. 

He says that while he doesn’t have a favorite project, because “they were all great ones”, he did say that working with Roy Orbison and Barry Manilow were highlights in his career.  “And while working with both Orbison and Manilow were high points, this concert tonight is definitely a high point for me.  I’ve performed for colleges and churches, but this concert is different.  It’s going to be great! I’m very excited!”
