Jay Ottaway and The Lost Boys (USA/Germany)
www.jayottawayandthelostboys.com
Jay Ottaway, singer-songwriter from Boston (USA), is back on tour in Europe in 2024 with the band Jay Ottaway and The Lost Boys supporting their new album Next to You, released by the German label, Timezone. The songs on the new album are blues-infused original rock compositions, deeply rooted in traditional American songwriting. Just like many of his past critically acclaimed songs, Jay’s admiration for artists like Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Tom Petty or the Grateful Dead comes through loud and clear.
Next to You is a truly international album with songs written in Boston, Massachusetts, recorded and mixed in Cologne, Germany, and mastered at Abbey Road Studios in London, England. Jay Ottaway’s songs are given their transatlantic wings by The Lost Boys from Germany: Guido Lehmann, Henrik Herzmann, and Klaus Marner, who helped with arrangements and production. This is the second album released by Jay Ottaway and The Lost Boys after their indie premiere album Adrenaline Junky (2022). It is also the tenth full length studio album in Ottaway’s career.
Jay Ottaway has toured in Europe for over two decades and Jay Ottaway and The Lost Boys have toured together since 2019. They have played festivals like Woodstock Forever, Street Life (Leverkusen) and Grammo-Musik-Festival (Leichlingen), as well as played in many prestigious clubs like the Bielefelder Jazz Club, Speiches Rock- & Blueskneipe (Berlin) and Music Star (Norderstedt). Joining Jay is Guido Lehmann, an excellent country-rock guitarist and lap steel player who has played in many well-known formations, including "Hillbilly Deluxe" and "The Swamptones." The rhythm section is handled by drummer Klaus Marner and bassist Henrik Herzmann, both well-travelled masters of the European music scene.
