Athens GA's Piano Man (Jay Gonzalez)

My guest this week is the one and only Jay Gonzalez. Jay is a longtime "townie" here in Athens, GA, and is grateful to call Athen’s home. His gratitude extends to what he calls "the luckiest job he's ever had" — being the keyboardist for the band Drive-By Truckers. That lucky job takes him on the road all over the U.S. and across the pond to many European countries.When he's not on the road, Jay has a unique knack for performing cover songs that will surprise and excite you. You may find yourself dancing and singing the night away. He's put together a new band that takes these covers to a whole new level. No matter where you see Jay, he’ll bring back memories for some and a music history lesson for others.Jay talked about his love of Athens, his family, and his experience as a member of Drive-By Truckers. We had a great time, and he even played and sang live in the studio.
