Jay Bragg's New Vaudeville makes its official debut this summer in New England, as the third-generation entertainer brings his whimsical variety entertainment home to the region that shaped his authentic musical DNA. Born into a century-old musical lineage outside Boston—literally feeling gospel vibrations in the womb while his mother mixed sound for his father's gospel band—Bragg has completed his artistic evolution from Nashville's country circuit to become the keeper of America's nearly extinct entertainment traditions. This inaugural tour supports his theatrical new EP featuring Tin Pan Alley-meets-New Orleans jazz compositions that embody his mission to "light candles in dark times" through sophisticated cultural preservation.
Audiences can expect an immersive experience that scales from intimate crooner sets to full variety show spectacles, harking back to entertainment's golden age when performers were complete entertainers—singing, storytelling, engaging audiences, and creating moments of delightful surprise you simply can't get from conventional concerts. These aren't just musical performances—they're cultural gatherings for thoughtful New Englanders craving the kind of authentic variety entertainment where you never know what magical moment might unfold next, seeking experiences that respect their refined tastes while delivering genuine joy, wonder, and exceptional musicianship honed through a decade in Nashville's competitive music scene. Jay Bragg's New Vaudeville fills the sophistication gap in contemporary entertainment, reviving the lost art of complete entertainment where personality, spontaneity, and audience connection transform ordinary evenings into extraordinary memories.
