Your mind is elevated, your soul is lifted & your booty is shakin'. With sets of deep organic electronica-- mixing live instrumentation and electronic devices, J Wail is setting off clubs, venues and festivals.
Jonah Gabriel Lipsky aka J Wail, although a native New Yorker, has resided in Asheville, NC and Phoenix, AZ for a good portion of his life.
Musical instruments have always been a passion since his early days. When Jonah was 2 years of age, his mother passed away. The beautiful classical guitar his mother played was later passed down to him. Although he rarely takes it out on stage the symbol, connection, essence, and inspiration of his mother and the guitar lies deep within his soul.
His enthusiasm and strong desire to share and spread his music has earned him a reputation as one of the hardest working, up and coming artists in the industry. J Wail's current tour began in March 2007. His longest break from the road since has been only 2 weeks. With 50,000 road miles, countless air miles, and 150+ shows since the start of the Tour, he has performed on all corners of the continent. Coinciding with the tours, community involvement and fund raisers are of utmost importance.
Stretching into the DJ-based dance sound with the approach of a live band he creates his "avant-garde club-funk-rock" through innovative techniques using live guitar, bass, vocals, synthesizers, and live electronics. His ability to experiment and improvise nightly has led to several appearances and collaborations with some prominent musicians.
On-stage guests/jams have included national artists Michael Travis/Jason Hahn (EOTO/ String Cheese Incident
, Dean Ween (Ween) , Brock Butler (Perpetual Groove), Ekoostik Hookah, Tom Constanten (Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame, ex member of the Grateful Dead), and members of the Brazilian Girls. J Wail has performed opening slots for national artists such as Bassnectar,
Particle, Perpetual Groove, Toubab Krewe, and DJ Le Spam & the Spam Allstars. J Wail's unique styles and techniques infuse the audience with a taste of something completely new and fresh.
