In this Jay Emmons Interview, the Glorious Sons guitarist shares his journey in the music industry and the challenges the band faced in the early days. He discusses his transition from being a singer to focusing on playing guitar and singing backups.

Jay co-founded The Glorious Sons in 2011, and his brother Brett joined up shortly after, as the lead singer. The band plays good old-fashioned high-energy bar room rock and roll. They’re from Kingston, Ontario Canada and since 2013, they’ve released 1 EP and 4 LPs including their latest record, Glory. The band’s toured Canada, Europe and the states, and have had 13 singles in the Canadian Top 10 charts, including 4 #1’s. And if you want a good introduction to the band, check out Sawed Off Shotgun, which is a heavy song lyrically but a fun song, musically… as is Speed of Light off the new album, Glory.
