New York, NY -- After announcing the early release of his new album “Take a Seat," singer-songwriter TJAY wowed fans with a special interview and performance on the internet TV show “Rew and Who." Viewers saw TJAY perform in an intimate setting, and heard the upstate-New York native speak for the first time about his unique history as a record breaking baseball player at Binghamton University, his experience with the Major Leagues, and how he got into music.

TJAY, known for his smooth blues/rock vocal styles and amazing guitar mastery, began performing concerts while in college to “earn a little extra cash," at the same time playing Division One Baseball for Binghamton U. With a 90-mile-an-hour throwing arm, ranked in the Top 5 for career hits, home runs, RBIs, and breaking the college's career doubles record, TJAY was attracting Major League attention.

“Baseball is a tough business to break into," says TJAY, “very similar to the music industry." The longer the Major Leagues waited to call him up, the larger the crowds grew at TJAY's performances. During the winter off-season, his music really started to take off. Now, TJAY performs an astounding 200+ shows per year. You can see TJAY perform on Friday January 22nd at Palmers Crossing in Larchmont, NY just outside NYC.
