Music by: Jay Bragg's New Vaudeville featuring "The Fiddlecrusher" Post-Race Celebration at Portland Yacht Club
New England native Jay Bragg brings his Nashville-refined artistry back to Maine waters for the perfect post-Monhegan Island Race celebration. After years perfecting his craft on Music City's legendary stages and sharing bills with icons like Alan Jackson and Chris Stapleton, Jay has evolved into one of the country's most skilled entertainers with an unmatched ability to lift spirits and create lasting memories. Joining him for this special waterside performance is world-renowned fiddle virtuoso Renae Truex, known as "The Fiddlecrusher," adding her incredible musical fireworks to the evening.
Following the excitement of Monhegan, settle into the sophisticated relaxation of a Maine brunch with Jay's signature blend of smooth classics, jazz standards, and original compositions that sound like timeless treasures. With Renae's masterful fiddle work weaving through the mix, this duo/trio performance creates exactly the kind of musical atmosphere that transforms a good post-race gathering into an unforgettable celebration. It's quality musicianship delivered with genuine warmth - the perfect soundtrack for toasting another successful day on the water among the sailing community.
