Acoustic Singing Telegram: Personal Ministry Through Music
Reviving the lost art of musical connection
In an age of digital communication and performative caring, Jay Bragg stands as one of the few remaining practitioners of the authentic Acoustic Singing Telegram—a deeply personal service that brings real music, real presence, and real joy to people who need it most.
This isn't entertainment; it's personal ministry. Whether celebrating milestones, offering comfort during challenging times, or simply bringing unexpected joy to someone's day, each Singing Telegram creates profound human connection through the transformative power of live music.
The Experience
Drawing from a repertoire of over 3,000 songs across multiple genres and decades, each performance is carefully curated to match the recipient's musical preferences and emotional needs. From intimate bedside serenades for hospice patients to celebratory office visits, every Singing Telegram is a unique musical moment crafted specifically for its intended audience.
Service Philosophy
"For me, the ability to transform someone's day through a personalized musical moment represents the most profound gift an artist can offer. These aren't performances—they're acts of service that create ripples of positivity extending far beyond the final note."
