JAY BRAGG'S NEW VAUDEVILLE
The Wizard of Whimsy
Third-generation entertainer, songwriter and Tin Pan Alley-inspired crooner Jay Bragg represents the last authentic voice of golden-age American showmanship. Born into music before birth—literally feeling gospel vibrations in the womb while his mother mixed sound for his father's gospel band—Bragg carries the cellular-level understanding of rhythm, spirituality, and authentic American musical expression that defines true cultural heritage. As a prolific songwriter with a publishing deal through Howling Music, his original compositions create magic by lighting candles in an often cynical and dark world.
The Evolution of an Authentic Voice
From sharing stages with country legends like Alan Jackson and Chris Stapleton to his current artistic mission as curator of Jay Bragg's New Vaudeville, this journey represents not reinvention, but homecoming. Guided by his third-generation family entertainment legacy and deep understanding of America's multicultural musical roots, Bragg has evolved toward the Tin Pan Alley crooner traditions blended with vintage New Orleans influences that represent the authentic culmination of a 22-year musical odyssey.
Jay Bragg's New Vaudeville isn't mere nostalgia—it's thoughtful preservation of the multicultural spirit that made American entertainment revolutionary. Each performance combines virtuosic musicianship, theatrical storytelling, and Bragg's original Tin Pan Alley-inspired compositions to create immersive experiences that transform ordinary evenings into extraordinary memories. As The Wizard of Whimsy, he follows the Chinese proverb "It's better to light a candle than curse the darkness"—creating joy and wonder rather than adding to cultural cynicism.
Cultural Resistance Through Quality Entertainment
Rooted in the gospel, Tin Pan Alley, vintage New Orleans jazz, and vaudeville traditions that represent the actual DNA of American entertainment, Bragg's original compositions celebrate the multicultural foundations that created our most enduring musical forms. His upcoming Christmas in New Vaudeville elevates holiday entertainment beyond the ordinary, creating variety show experiences filled with original songs that transport audiences to a more refined era of celebration.
"This is where thoughtful Americans gather when they want to remember what we're protecting—quality entertainment that respects your intelligence while stirring your soul."
