Album of the Week – Jaywalkers ‘Move On’

Written by celtic music radio on May 17, 2025

Jaywalkers joyously deliver a multi-layered sound steeped in classic Appalachian musical tones of old time and bluegrass music.

The superb musicianship and sublime vocal harmonies of this trio of outstanding players has been rightly described as “an exhilarating experience” and a “virtuosic brand of Americana.”

Since reaching the finals of the BBC Young Folk Awards in 2008, Jaywalkers have toured regularly across the UK and Europe, honing their craft and winning many admirers.

Jay Bradberry (fiddle and lead vocals), Mike Givern (mandolin, guitar and vocals) and Lucille Williams (bass and vocals) offer original songs alongside their clever covers, foot-stomping bluegrass tunes and superb interpretations of old country classics.

On our Album of the Week Show today at midday, they will be discussing their music with Hugh Taylor.
