Went to your show in Bridgeport, Ct. last night (June 2nd). You guys were great, not only for the memorable songs, but for your obvious love of rock and roll and it's roots. I grew up on Long Island and use to hang out at a place called the Chop House in Garden City South. Jay Traynor would occasionally show up and have a few rounds with the crowd. Thanks for the music, good luck and health, and long live rock and roll.    Francis Zaino

WHAT A SPECTACULAR SHOW THESE GUYS PERFORMED ON FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 1, AT HILTON IN STATEN ISLAND.
WE ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE OF IT. THEY ARE GREAT ENTERTAINERS AND THEIR BAND IS FANTASTIC.
GOOD LUCK TO THIS GROUP AND THEIR BAND IN THE FUTURE...THEY DESERVE IT. A SPLENDID PERFORMANCE BY EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM. AND ALSO, TO BE SO COURTEOUS TO MEET AND GREET PEOPLE AFTER THE SHOW.
IT WAS A SELL-OUT SHOW AND EVERYONE WAS RAVING ABOUT IT AFTER IT WAS OVER. THEY CAN COME BACK TO STATEN ISLAND ANYTIME. GREAT SINGERS AND A GREAT SHOW...I WISH THEM THE BEST: JAY, SANDY, HOWIE, AND MARTY.
ALL THE BEST TO ALL OF YOU!
SINCERELY,

Just wanted to take a minute to tell you what a tremendous success the concert was this past Saturday evening May 5th.    Jay and the Americans were outstanding and what a class act of guys. A real pleasure. Everyone has nothing but great things to say about it all day Sunday and today. It was a tremendous success for our library event. Thank you again.

Hi guys,
You were great last night March 2! I have seen the Buckinghams, Gary Puckett and Peter Noone in the last couple of months and you guys were way up there as far as entertainment. Peter Noone is my favorite, but now that I have met Howie I have changed my mind! Also, I can't see Peter Noone holding Jay's note for Cara Mia! He sounded awesome with a cold yet! I am looking forward to you coming back to Rams Head again-its the best place to see a show. Especially front and center with my knees touching the stage. Tell Howie I am sorry for distracting him, but I couldn't help it-he is adorable!
Enjoy the rest of the tour-be safe and keep on keeping on! You guys sound great!
Love ya!

 I saw your show in Schenectady, N.Y. on the 22nd. And I was so amazed. I have always loved Jay Blacks voice, and seen him in person a couple of years ago at Proctors. At first that was who I thought was going to be in Schenectady last weekend. The new guy has a range just as high as Jay's and he sounds like the original. If you closed your eyes you would think it was the original band from the 60's. I thought you were great and would love to attend another show of yours again. It was very entertaining and I loved it. My two favorite songs are This Magic Moment and Sunday and Me. Thanks for singing them.

We saw you guys in Morganton, NC last night Oct. 8, 2011 and we just want to thank you from the bottoms of our hearts for putting on such a magnificent show. We weren't sure what to expect before the show but left simply blown away by what we saw. Not only is Jay III tremendously talented, the rest of the group is as well. We had no idea each of you was such a good singer. We sat on the front row and got the best view of the whole show. We really enjoyed the chance to meet all of you after the show, too. To Jay, III, I was the one who told you anyone who could sound like Jay Black and Roy Orbison had to have a fantastic voice. Again, thank you all for a great evening of entertainment. We promise if you guys ever come back to Morganton, NC, we will be right there to support you. And most of all, thank you for keeping the music alive!

JUST RETURNED HOME FROM YOUR OCT.9TH SHOW IN CHARLESTON,WV. MY WIFE AND I ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE! YOU GUYS ARE JUST TERRIFIC. THE SONGS BROUGHT BACK MANY MEMORIES OF MY TEEN-AGE YEARS. WHAT A GREAT WAY TO SPEND THE AFTERNOON LISTENING TO JAY AND THE AMERICANS!

 Just saw their show in Charleston, WV, and it was FABULOUS!!

Linda Woodford

Just caught the show at the AK-Chin Casino. Fabulous! Jay has the gift of being a power singer much like an opera singer. He can sure belt it out. The entire group is talented and well worth seeing many times over.

WOW! Your show(s) at Harrah's Ak-Chin on 9/28 were fantastic! Its great to be able to see 3 original members of such a prestigious vocal group back together and sounding so good. And Jay #3 is nothing short of amazing as he belts out Cara Mia and This Magic Moment, to name a few. We will certainly make every effort to see you again.. Thanks for a great show!

David
Bristol, Tennessee

›››Saw you 7-9-2011 the Doo-Wop Concert in Birmingham, Alabama - I was front row center. You were fabulous! I thoroughly enjoyed hearing you perform live. This is the first time I have heard or seen Jay 3. He is GREAT! I'm going to pray for him to find his own signature song for J&A's. He does a tremendous job with the original J&A songs, especially Cara Mia - my favorite, but he is so talented, I know he can find a song, rewrite one, or write one that will be his very own. The group and the fan base are so fortunate you found him. Sandy, you really have an eye for talent. Not only do I enjoy your music but you are good guys and exemplify what it means to be a true American. You are a genuine representation of the name of your group. Jay fits in perfectly with that reputation. Looking forward to the next time I can see you in person. Take care and God bless.

›››I was at the show at Cooper River last night and we were all blown away with the show. You guys still sound amazing!!!! I am 63 so I've been listening to you from the beginning. Better than ever. I was also glad you mentioned Kenny. We go to see him every chance we get, and he always mentions Jay and the Americans. Jay #3,great voice and the songs sound the same. I've been to many oldies shows when a group has a different lead singer for one reason or another. They usually do NOT sound the same.You did! See you November 19th at the Scottish Rite Auditorium.

Lynn Jensen

›››Jay & the Americans was my favorite group growing up. I didn't think that anyone could have the same voice as Jay Black. But I thought close enough was good enough and went to the concert in Pennsauken NJ. But WOW, I felt like I was in a 1965 concert with Jay Black. I hope to see them again in Collingswood NJ, and might even drive 2 hours to North Jersey to see you there too.

›››Just saw the show at our Solivita Community in Poinciana (part Of Kissimmee), FL. FANTASTIC SHOW! It was so good it seemed to go by so fast. We could have enjoyed it all night. Thanks for a memorable concert

John & Chris Robinson
Poinciana, Florida

›››Just watched the early show at Solivita (Social Club) and was blown away. They don't make music like that anymore. What an outstanding show. Wanted to stay to meet the guys and buy a CD but will have to be content to buy one off your website since I still work and have to get up really early.

We've lived at Solivita for 8 years and feel really blessed that we can see great shows that get brought to our active adult community.

We both always loved Jay and the Americans and were so glad when we found out they were coming - we were certainly not disappointed. I may not be able to get to sleep with all those songs going through my head!!

Thanks, Guys, for such a great show. We're actually from the South, but we can appreciate 3 guys from NY and one from Chicago! The band was fantastic! Kudos again!

›››I was at the show in Ferndale, Wash on Saturday, Jan. 22 and it was absolutely amazing!! I couldn't get enough. They were fantastic and I could have listened to them all night. I really hope they come to Vancouver, BC some time because I wouldn't miss it. Thank you so much for the wonderful evening.

Judy Moore

›››I took my wife to your show at the Silver Reef Casino in Ferndale, Wa. It was her 66th birthday, and to tell you the truth, she wasn't real thrilled to be there. But when the show started, and all of the wonderful music, and the great background stories started, she was really, really happy. The show was entertaining, informative and great in a small venue. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves during the entire show. Jay 3 has a magnificent voice and his rendition of Cara Mia was spectacular. Also his Roy Orbison and Elvis songs were truly outstanding. Great job, guys, you made my wife's birthday one to remember! I thank you and she thanks you.

Rod Davidson
Camano Island, Washington

›››Had the extreme pleasure of seeing Jay and the Americans last night at Silver Reef Casino Hotel in Washington State. The show was amazing but the biggest thrill for my friend and I was to sit beside them at supper and actually get to talk to them as we were leaving and express to them what a wonderful show they put on for an audience full of both Canadian and US fans. Thanks for the memories and I was so impressed by all the group and their band - especially Jay and Sandy. Truly nice gentlemen.

Debbie Humphries

›››Ulster County Fair - New Paltz, NY When I heard you guys and Jay III sing - I got all "goose bumpy" - the same wonderful sound I remember from the 60's. Awesome show, guys - thanks a bunch and a real treat to meet all of you!!

Maggie G
Poughkeepsie, New York

›››I was truly overwhelmed. We just saw your show at the Ulster County Fair in New York on August 8th. Have always wanted to hear those songs in person since I was a teenager. Yes, we are your age. The years have done nothing to dull the magic of hearing those wonderful songs live. We were absolutely thrilled with a thoroughly professional yet personable performance. There is something special about "small venue" concerts. We also enjoyed hearing the background of the songs. It made them that much more meaningful. Jay 3 has a fantastic voice and the similarities to the original recordings are incredible. As in most things however, the sum of the parts is greater than any one piece. The harmony of the whole group is what makes Jay and the Americans great and an icon in Rock & Roll music. Thank you for a wonderful step back in time.

Gordon Weidner
Laporte, Indiana

›››I wish to thank you and everyone else connected for bringing Jay and the Americans to our LaPorte County Fair on July 23, 2010. The show was fantastic. It brought back so many gold memories from my younger years. I grew up listening to Jay and the Americans as a teenager back in Wisconsin. I sincerely hope you will consider a return engagement sometime in the future. Keep on singing for many years to come.

With Great Appreciation,

›››Just saw Jay and the Americans' in Ocean City, NJ on Monday 7/19/10.  I thought I would be disappointed that there was no Jay Black, but I was so overwhelmed, Jay 3 nailed it, I would never have known that he wasn't Jay Black.  The concert was fun and the music wonderful.  They gave us fun insights and they were incredibly entertaining.  I have wanted to see them since I first heard "Only in America" was I was 10 years old.  I was not disappointed.  And the best part was meeting them after the show and getting the shake hands with a band I never thought I would meet personally.  Anyone who loves there music should check it out, they won't be disappointed.  They ended the show with "this magic moment and then back in toe Cara Mia.  It was phenomenal!

›››Words can hardly express how much Audrey and I enjoyed your performance at Lurman Woodland Theater in Catonsville, MD on Saturday 7/17/10.  We got there about 2 hours early, just to get a front row seat and we got to watch the sound check (that’s pretty entertaining, for some of us). Sorry it was such a hot and humid day, but you guys didn’t show much discomfort.  We talked with Jay afterwards, and Merle said that maybe you guys, would return to Annapolis (Rams Head) next year.  That would be so great.  That would make 4 times we’ve gone to your shows.  Guess we’re groupies.,, Best regards,,,

›››These guys really know how to entertain.  Got there early.  Got to hear rehearsal, great show.  Can't wait when they come back to area.  Will bring everyone I know to hear how true to the originals they sound.  Daughter's name is Kara.  Loved Cara Mia.

Rob Fisk
Baltimore, Maryland

›››I am a real Jay Black fan and have gone to New York through blizzard conditions to see him, and was really skeptical when you all got back together with Jay 3. U-tube does not do you justice.  I saw you all at the Lurman outdoor Theatre in Catonsville, Maryland on July 17th and have to admit I thoroughly enjoyed the show.  It was good to hear a lot of the songs that Jay 2 don't sing anymore and to hear a lot of different ones, too.  You are all a talented group and I wish you well. (It's not every venue that the band gets entertained, too, by the resident dancer!)

Mary Franklin

›››Saw you guys in Catonsville, MD tonight and you totally blew me away.  Jay #3 was fantastic.  When he sang Cara Mia it gave me chills.  Bravo to you guys, I have been a fan from your start, and you are better than ever

Ed Lurz
Baltimore, Maryland

›››I have always been a fan of Jay & The Americans, since day one they were one of my favorite groups. Then something took place, I got the job as the road manager/bodyguard for Jackie "Mr. Excitement" Wilson and got the great opportunity to meet the present three "original" members of Jay & The Americans; Sandy Yaguda; Howie Kirschenbaum and Marty Kupersmith while on the road with Jackie., Over the years a lot has taken place for all of us, but one thing for sure! ,Jay & The Americans are truly back, and I really hope that those that have the great opportunity to catch them performing live...will do so! You will not be sorry, when you catch the "originals" with the great "original" sound that sold over 200 million records worldwide!, As both a fan and a close friend, this group will have you standing and yelling for more great sounds from one of the greatest vocal groups to come of the 1960's era...including those four guys from Liverpool who are sometimes called "The Fab Four".,, Catch Jay & The Americans today, once again a great group of talented singers...besides their mothers would love to have you come see their boys make you happy for a few hours!

›››Is there anyway we could have Jay and The Americans out here in Napa Valley on a full time basis? I took a couple of girlfriends to their show at the Lincoln Theater here in the valley Friday Sept 18, 2009. Talk about never wanting the night to end, we were simply memorized while we were taken back in time. That's where I say..... Ahhhhhhhh "This Magic Moment" !!! I don't think we have stopped smiling since! We even HAD to purchase 3 CD's to take home with each of us to ensure the evening with Jay and The Americans would continue on our way home, over the weekend, over the weeks and months until they come back to Napa. Please, please, please tell me they are coming back??? Forget the hotels, they can stay at my house! Oh and could they please bring their keyboard player!!! Very Respectfully,

›››Saw your show last night in Laughlin, NV. All I can say is WOW!!! I've been a JATA fan for more than 40 years, and Last night was a total thrill.

›››"Only in America" could you guys come back after 35 years, every bit as good as you were when I used to see you live back in the '60s and '70s. My wife and I caught your show at Msgr. Farrell back in April and, while I knew exactly what to expect from a JATA performance, it was her first such experience; suffice it to say that you've made another loyal fan. We're both looking forward to your November "Homecoming" show in Brooklyn, which I understand is your first hometown gig since 1973 and your first at OLG since June '64 (it's been way too long, fellas - and we missed you). God bless and best wishes for many more years of great music!

›››I know this is somewhat after the fact, however we felt the need to provide some feedback. We live in Wisconsin and saw Jay and the Americans at an event in St. Germaine, Wisconsin called Pig ‘N the Pines. What an absolutely fantastic show. And based on the size of the crowd and the enthusiasm of the crowd, many other people thoroughly enjoyed the show. One of the things we found most interesting was the way the group wove their history into the fabric of the show. Although we do just enjoy listening to their great music, the historical information and the way it was presented, lifted it to an entirely different level. For my wife and myself, it was a totally enjoyable evening and one we will not forget. Plus, when we hear a Jay and the Americans song on the radio, it gets us into a conversation reminiscing about that evening.

›››The four (4) hour trip was absolutely worth it!!! My son and I attended your concert at 2009 Grange Fair in Centre Hall, PA and purely loved it!!! Much better than we thought!!! Show was truly awesome!!! Their vocals were dead on to what I remember!!! Reminiscent of the past! I love Cara Mia and my son likes Sunday & Me. We also enjoyed the historical summary of J&A's bibliography mixed the witty satire and sarcasm Jay, Marty, Sandy, & Howie play off each other!!! You are bound to get a few laughs too!!! Don't stop!

›››Just saw you tonight at the Grange Fair.  Awesome show.  Your energy was amazing and the music was wonderful.  Jay III nailed Cara Mia!!!  Safe travels.  I hope to see your show again.

›››I saw your show tonight 9/2/2009 at the Grange Fair. I don't know when I have been so  moved and so thrilled to see such a performance.  You are really  sensational.  Besides being so talented and still singing as well as ever, you are so much fun to watch and listen to. When Jay (#3) sang Cara Mia......I got goose bumps and the tears rolled down my cheeks.  It was so  moving and sung so sweetly it touched me and for the moment I was so moved.  I hope I have the chance to see you  perform again.  Good Luck, stay well, Keep on singing we need it in our lives!!

›››Jay #3 and the Americans were awesome at the Grange Fair in Centre Hall, PA. It was well worth coming the 60 miles to see them and freezing our butts off going home on the motorcycle at 11:00pm that night.

Dee Inlow
Clearfield, Pennsylvania

›››I wanted to get this out to the group before It slipped my mind.  I was fortunate enough to see the band perform last night, 2 Sept, at the Grange Fair and Encampment, here in central Pennsylvania.  It was indeed a memorable event.  An hour and a-half of non-stop nostalgia and quality music by a group of performers that, as anyone could tell that night, truly care about their audience and their craft.  Hope they enjoyed their night here in "Happy Valley" and I for one look forward to a repeat performance if they get a return engagement.  Best Wishes

›››My wife and I saw you at CalExpo at the California State Fair and your show was awesome! Cara Mia, This Magic Moment, Come a little bit closer, Only in America, what a blast from the past! Thank you! And you guys were so friendly afterwards! The big gathering on stage for the finale, with Cannibal, Badfinger, Sonny Geraci, and Otis Day was so great, all of you singing "SHOUT:, you had everybody up on their feet clapping dancing and singing along! Thank you for a terrific evening of joyous music! You rock!

›››My wife and I and several friends saw your show last night at the Pig in the Pines Ribfest.  We were expecting "45 minutes and gone".  Much to our surprise and total enjoyment you treated us to a full hour and a half terrific show.  Your music brings back many great memories and Cara Mia is one of my top five favorite songs ever.  Today I can't get it out of my head!  Keep entertaining - my generation loves it- Class of '64.

›››We saw your show in Lakewood, NJ and wanted to say that Jay #3 has a fantastic voice. Whenever I hear Cara Mia it reminds me of a friend from high school, John D. Ossman USMC, who was killed in action in Vietnam. Cara Mia was John's favorite song and whenever I hear it I think of him. Jay#3 does the song justice. Thank you.

I tingled with every note sung and may I say you performance was phenomenal. It has taken me an entire week to settle down, (I am emotionally charged from your performance) I have been singing at my desk all week. Everyone I spoke to as we left the theater all wished the group would have been on stage longer and sang more.

Don Jeziorski

Kenneth Corbeille
Lake Station, Indiana

›››My wife and I with friends were thrilled to see the group this past Saturday, August 23, 2008 at Westlake in Jackson, New Jersey. We thought we were going to another "oldies" concert.  How wrong we were.  You guys were sensational.  The music never sounded better with "Jay 3" the "old" Brooklyn boys did not sound too shabby either.  We had such an enjoyable evening.  The stories and history were real cool, i am glad that you guys were inducted to the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame and wish a couple of guys named Diamond and Sedaka will one day be enshrined alongside you.  Jay and The Americans, now and forever.

›››We just finished seeing the show in Massillon Ohio this evening,(8/14/08),It was an incredible performance. Much greater than I had expected. Super, fantastic, great, are just a few of terms I could use to describe the show. The 3rd Jay has a wonderful voice. Please don't stop performing. I may become a groupie, (at age 62) and follow you to Marion Ohio or Toledo Ohio. One of the best concerts I've seen this year. I’ve seen about 25 so far. This ranks right up there with Jersey Boys.

Ralph Gromelski

Tuesday evening.  The music was tremendous and you sounded as you did in the 60's and 70's.  You were very audience oriented and played to the crowd. We loved the personal anecdotes you gave about your lives and careers.  Afterwards, you were so gracious for pictures, signatures and one on one talk.  You certainly took us back to our youth.  We would love for you to come back to the Buffalo area in the near future.  Thank you,

›››I am still dancing and singing since Saturday night.  We were so thrilled to see the REAL  Jay and the Americans perform. It was the best showmanship and music ever.  In addition to Sandy, Howie and of course Marty, Jay #3 stood out as the best Jay the group has seen. He has a charisma for which I cannot explain.  He sings to you  not at you.  I enjoyed myself and I hope to see the group again very shortly.  I hope they could come to ASSER LEVY park and re-introduce the world to one of the best Rock and Roll groups ever.  Its nice to see good clean family entertainment.  Close your eyes and you are back in the days of your wonderful childhood enjoying the basic staple of life, goods music and dancing.  I still have not come down from this high. It was too short.  Marty is a true talent.  I never knew Shrek and Marty had this wonderful relationship.   Thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me again to enjoy my favorite group.  Please stay in New York area.  Love your favorite fan.

 John Strongi

›››WOW what a BLAST we had at Festa Italiana in Milwaukee!  It was great to go back and re-live the Rock n Roll era of Jay and the Americans.  We loved the way you told your story through out the concert, especially the story when you were on The Tonight Show, and the way you introduced "This Magic Moment" for your encore,  it was PERFECT.  I didn't know that I could still dance like I did that night.  Thank you and come back to our area.   We wish you all the BEST to come.

Anita
Milwaukee, Wisconsin

›››Went to Festa Italiana exclusively to see you on Saturday. Incredible show. I  had mentioned to my sister who joined me. The true test will be if he'll be able to sing "Cara Mia" ?  Which (Jay #3) did unquestionably fantastic. When you all sang "Some Enchanted Evening" it was flawless it was if I were hearing it back on the radio in '65.  Outstanding show, I enjoyed all the background to the hits, I knew about Neil Diamond, but not the Steely Dan connection.  Get "Reeling In The Years" . Is it obvious I was greatly impressed with the show!!!Thank You ...

Steve Semon
Greenfield, Wisconsin

›››Saw you last week at Fiesta Italiana in Milwaukee, WI.  Loved the Show.  It was outstanding and we really liked all the stories that went along with the songs.

AL & Mary Thomas

›››I saw you at Festa Italiana in Milwaukee.  Your show was great. I loved the stories you shared about the music business and the famous musicians you worked with.  You transported me back to the late 60's for your 1 hour show.  Fantastic.  Loved your version of Steely Dan's Reeling in the years.

Tom DiCicco

›››Couldn't wait to get home to play the CD I just purchased after hearing Jay and the Americans in concert at Festa Italiana in Milwaukee, WI last night (7/20/08).  We had a 2nd row front seat.  The show was wonderful, especially Cara Mia sung by Jay III!  The encore with Jay III singing it again was fantastic.  We all were giving a standing ovation and I noticed how excited they were on stage giving high fives!  I thought the group was so nice afterward staying to meet with the fans and posed for pictures, one of which my son took with me and the band to remember.  Great job and I hope to see you in Milwaukee again

Cindy Cialkowski

›››I saw Jay and the Americans at the Rams Head in Annapolis this past Saturday.  Cara Mia just totally blew me away!!  That one song alone was worth the price of the ticket.  I would have paid another $39 just to hear that song again. Fantastic!!!!!  I have goose bumps just thinking about Jay3’s performance.  I’m so hooked once again, what can I say.  

Please thank them for me for a truly unforgettable evening!

›››I convinced 3 of my friends to go with me to your show at the Ram's Head in Annapolis, MD.  You blew the roof off!  Marty, Howie and Sandy were as great as always, and Jay #3 is now Jay #1 as far as we're concerned.  You are true entertainers and performers, as well as outstanding vocalists.  Loved the stories, the history--but especially the songs.  Fabulous show, had us singing in the car all the way home

Marge Kumaki

›››Just got back from Ram's Head in Annapolis and had to write a comment.  I learned to play the guitar in the Air Force from 1960 to 1964.  The first song I played was "She Cried".  I wooed my date with that song in 1963 and we married the following year.  Needless to say, we are still happily married and I still sang along with every word.  One of the best shows I've ever seen and looking forward to see you again when you hit this area.

-Mary

››› I have been to many live performances but the one y'all gave last Saturday @ the Newberry Opera House tops them all. I was seated center stage row two and couldn't have imagined how it could have been any better. Y'all did a fantastic job! Jay #3 and the original Americans took me back to the 60's. The vocal harmonies were just magic and the USA Band didn't miss a lick. Thanks for giving us a night to remember and please consider another booking in the Opera House. Wow, just Wow!

-Jim Ridge
Pomaria, South Carolina

››› I am just overwhelmed by the show in Newberry. I was and I remain one of your greatest fans. Last night took me back to a time when I was just a kid stealing every possible second to listen to Jay and the Americans. You all look great!

My husband summed it all up very well with, "Those guys are a class act." The music, the venue, the stories, and the talent ... what a dynamic show! Keep the good times rolling!!!

-Katie Bradley
Greenwood, South Carolina

-Steve Preston

››› Just got back from Clear Lake after seeing you guys perform and it was outstanding. Anyone who has not seen you perform live does not know what they are missing. It was also great fun visiting with all of you and I hope we can get you some booking here in Northwest Iowa. I will keep trying from my end. Take care and keep the music going.

-Tom Golden
Spencer, Iowa

››› Our friends and I attended another "50's in Febraury" weekend in Clear Lake. Your performance was the one I enjoyed out of all the acts! After hearing you guys and your amazing band, I knew the weekend was going to be the best yet! Thank you, thank you, thank you for continuing to make such wonderful music. Like fine wine, you guys are getting better as you (I should say "we") age! God bless you all.

-Julie and John McConaughey

-Sharon

››› You guys were AWESOME at the Surf. I'd never seen you live, but I was blown away. It was also great to hang out with you guys. I've got lots of great memories! :)

-Lindsey Chesen
Chicago, Illinois

››› Jay & the Americans :Just as I thought the night could not get much better Jay & the Americans took the stage and totally Wowed the entire surf it was like a sea of people singing dancing remembering the past as if was only yesterday.... Not only were they outstanding vocally but they took time to mingle with the people . They are truly entertainers!!!! They are wonderful and the people I talked to were just as impressed with them as I was.

-Julie Mullenbach
Austin, Minnesota

››› I flew out to Vegas just to see the NEW Jay and the Americans. It was worth every penny. The show was Fantastic. The guys are enjoying themselves on stage like kids and old friends do. BUT the best is the NEW JAY - WOW! Can he ever sing! I'm not old enough to have enjoyed them the first time around but I am so glad that I was able to see them this time. I'm looking forward to seeing them again and again in the future. It truly was A MAGIC MOMENT, that can ONLY happen IN AMERICA.

-Charise McCarthy

››› Thanks for a terrific show in Las Vegas. Loved the rock'n'roll history and loved your new Jay. Hope to get to see you again soon!

-Felice Solana
Beach, California

››› My wife and I went To Vegas this past week-end and saw one incredible show. I found out the day before that Jay Black was not the Jay in the band anymore. I was disappointed when I heard that but had already bought the tickets and the plane fare plus we loved the music you song in the 60's so we went. Needless to say it was one of the best "oldies" shows we have been to. We have been to over 100 in the past 20 years. "Jay Three" was fantastic as were the rest of you originals. Thanks for the memories we loved the show.

-Mike and Marilyn Ipsen
San Carlos, California

››› My wife and I caught the show tonight 1/13/08 at the Suncoast Hotel/Casino in Las Vegas. The group packed the house 3 straight nights..we had a ball....can't wait until they return to Las Vegas in May.....Viva Jay and the Americans...

-Henry Poreda
Las Vegas, Nevada

››› We saw the show last night at the Suncoast and were blown away. We will see you every time you are back in town.

-Lynn Forkos

››› Hi to Jay and his Americans. Had a great time at the Mellon Arena Dec.07. Was a great thrill meeting all of you at the meet and greet before the show. Jay #3 was outstanding. Can't wait to see you all again the next time you are in the area. Thanks again!

-Lew and Marciene Hosler
Brownsville, Pennsylvania

››› Saw you guys at the oldies show in Pittsburgh. Couldn't believe how J.R. has nailed the original sound. You guys were head and shoulders above the other performers at the Mellon Arena show. Cara Mia wow!

-Jack Issi
Belle Vernon, Pennsylvania

››› Just saw you guys in Pittsburgh last night. You were fantastic. Hope you come back next year for the annual Christmas concert. Glad you're keeping the music alive.

-Steve Sisul

››› My husband bought me tickets to the 2007 Holiday Doo Wop concert at the Mellon Arena on December 7, 2007 and you were absolutely fabulous and I really enjoyed listening to your group

-Sandra Maxwell
Verona, Pennsylvania

››› I absolutely loved you guys at Feather Falls Casino on 1 Dec 07 in Oroville CA. You guys put on such a very entertaining show and so nostalgic. I can't wait to see you guys again in Las Vegas NV in May 08, when you will play again with Badfinger. Rick and I will be there to see you along with Brother Billy Davis from Badfinger. It is going to be a blast. Thanks again for a fantastic show.

-Rosalind and Rick Davis
Sacramento, California

››› Your show at Feather Falls Casino in Oroville, CA was the best!

-Thomas French
Glenn, California

››› Saw your show with Badfinger at the Feather Falls Casino 12-1-2007. Justed wanted to thank you for reminding me what it was like to be a kid again. You also scored a new fan, my husband. He had never heard of you, but knew your songs. Awesome to have you guys together again. Jay, Cara Mia and your Roy Orbison songs could not be any better. Loved the show.

-Corrine Davis
Rancho Cordova, California

››› GREAT SHOW AT THE RAMS HEAD IN ANNAPOLIS MD HOPE TO SEE YOU NEXT YEAR BUYING MY PARENTS TICKETS FOR YOUR LAS VEGAS SHOW IN 2008.

-Cindy Cialkowski
Annapolis, Maryland

››› My husband Dave and I saw your show in Nice, CA at Robinson's Rancheria. First let me say it was an honor to 'share' the third floor with you :) but it was just a blast to watch you all preform on stage. You all are what American icons should be, talented, personable, and classy. Newer 'stars' in music should take the example that you bring to the art. My husband is still kicking himself, as he has nearly every single that Jay and the Americans released via radio station, as he was a 'disc jockey' in his youth, but he was thrilled to talk with all of you and get his signed CD. Blessings to all of you for reminding us all how much music shaped us in our youth, and makes us still feel youthful.

Lower Lake, California

››› We saw your show Friday night in Lakewood, New Jersey. Thank you for giving us such an enjoyable evening! It was wonderful to listen to the hits we so enjoyed when we were teenagers in the 1960's! Your request at the end of the concert, to keep the music alive by sharing it with our children, is something we have taken to heart. Have you thought of recording anything new as a group? Given your harmonies and Jay III's terrific voice, rock and roll and doo-wop might benefit from some fresh material! Please give it a thought.

-Richard Zalman and Family
Parlin, New Jersey

››› THANKS FOR THE GREAT MEMORIES AND SONGS LAST NIGHT IN LAKEWOOD, NJ. JUST GREAT.

-RALPH, MARATEA
Lakewood, New Jersey

››› We were at the show on Friday night at the Kent Stage. Fantastic, wonderful evening of songs and stories. We agree with other posts, hope you guys come back to NE Ohio again, we've been telling friends what a great show they missed.

-Bill & Betty Sepe
Hudson, Ohio

››› I saw the show at the Kent State Theater, Oct 5 2007 and it was fantastic. One of the best shows I have seen this year. I couldn't stay in my seat I had to get up and dance. Howie the chick magnet was great. Thanks guys for a fun evening and some wonderful memories!

-Denise Laird
Akron, Ohio

››› We saw your show in Kent, Ohio Friday night and it was fabulous!!!!!! Jay #3 was great, all of you guys were. Your band was really good too. Hope you come back to our area soon.

-Carol Gostlin

-Michael Puhak
Sellersville, Pennsylvania

››› My husband and I saw you last night in Sellersville, Pa. I was sitting at one of the front tables. You guys were awesome! Oh, and geez, I must of had a brain freeze that I couldn't answer your trivia question about the two songs that each have the same 5 word phrase. Since they are my two favorite songs! Old age setting in I guess!

-Elaine Steskal
Coopersburg, Pennsylvania

››› Saw J&A last night in Springfield, Ma. before 5,000+ at an outdoor concert. Having been a fan of Jay #2 I never thought Jay#3 could come close vocally. Boy-was I wrong! He has an incredible voice and of course the original Americans sounded great as well. Their harmonies are the best. I don't know if they read these comments but I was the one who brought the Live at the Cafe Wha album cover which they so kindly signed. Met them all before the show and they are a great bunch of guys. I hope that they can perform some of their other songs like Living Above Your Head, You Ain't As Hip, What's The Use and so many more GREAT album cuts. It was a special night and can't wait to see them again soon. You should book the Cabaret Room at the Mohegan Sun in Connecticut if you can. Good Luck !!

-Art Rickless
Long Meadow, Massachusetts

››› Wonderful concert in Springfield MA 9/20/07. I was amazed to hear that the new Jay sounds so much like and better than Jay #2. I am a big fan of Jay #1 also, having seen him in VT in 2004 and 2005. You guys are all awesome!

-Peter Sullivan
Northampton, Massachusetts

››› We attended your performance in Calgary on Sept 15 and had a fabulous evening. It was fun to sing along to the songs we danced to in our teens. Jay #3 has a fabulous voice (and personality!)...he sings Cara Mia better than the previous Jay! We hope to see you all again sometime!

-Georgia Lee
Calgary, Alberta

››› What a walk down memory lane. I can still remember sitting in the audience in front of the grandstand at the Regina Exhibition over 40 years ago listening to your great vocals. Nothing has changed. It all came back on Fri Sept 14th at Casino Regina. Jay # 3 fits the group like a glove. Keep up the good work.

-Bill Massier
Yorkton, Canada

››› An outstanding concert. Without doubt the best vocal performance of any top name band now or past. Thanks for treating us to your music.

-Mike Bertrand
Winnipeg, Manitoba

››› A buddy and I saw J and A's at the Music Pier in Ocean City, NJ. We've both always enjoyed them and what a great show they put on! The new J is fantastic and probably sings all the songs better than J#2 could now. Great songs, great performance, great show, we had a blast!

-Glenn

-Annette Gambucci

››› My husband and I sat front row in Foxwoods on 6/26 and were transported back in time. I couldn't stop singing, smiling and dancing in my seat. You were wonderful!! Best of all, you sang my all time favorite...'Walking in the Rain'!!!

-Pam Pasake

-Mark Stevens
Cherry Hill, New Jersey

››› I was at the performance of Jay and The Americans last Saturday night at The Fairfield Theatre Company in Fairfield Connecticut, I just wanted to let you know what a fantastic show we saw!!!!Jay R is terrific, His voice is the BEST yet. Jay R has a gifted and very warm approach with the audience that sets a most pleasing tone to the whole show. Sandy, Howie and Marty put forth one terrific performance and their many, many "inside stories" of the old days were just GREAT!! We wish you and the "new" Jay and the rest of the boys all the best we will be attending additional shows soon. We bought one of the CDs and I haven't stopped listening to "Cara Mia" in my car for the last 3 days...Jay R does it very very well.

Regards to all,
Jack Flaherty

››› Saw Jay And The Americans last night in Ct. and all I can say is, WOW!!!
They put on a great show and Jay Reincke was spectacular, hitting all the notes and had a great on-stage charisma. The guys looked and sounded great and performed everything from all their hits to favorites and influences. The audience loved every part of the long 2 hour show, and gave them numerous standing ovations. Can't wait to see them again

-Vincent
New York

››› WOW!! I love Jay and the Americans and I have to say that although I miss the other Jay for sentimental reasons this one sounds as good as the first one. I’m one of those types who reads liner notes and I love all of the other Americans especially on Capture the Moment and my favorite song Living above Your Head those should have been much bigger hits. Long live Jay and the Americans!!

››› Seen the show at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake,Fantastic We have been going to the Buddy Holly Tribute for over 10 years,this may have been the best performance we have ever seen. Let me know if you guys ever get back to Iowa

-Don Olson
Story City, Iowa

››› I grew up in the East coast truly enjoying the music of Jay and the Americans. I saw Jay Black at the Broward Center,Fl. for his 65th Birthday show. I was so disappointed in the quality of his show. The beautiful voice I had heard through the years was not the same on stage that night. I also flew out to Clear Lake to hear Jay and the Americans. What a show! The new Jay with the Americans were outstanding

-Lynn from
Farmington, Connecticut

››› WOW! WHAT A VOICE! I can't wait to see the new Jay (Jay #3) again. He is O U T S T A N D I N G!!! I enjoyed the show in Clear Lake, Iowa tremendously. I hope they will be on tour in my area soon so that I can bring all my friends If you have not heard the new Jay - don't walk, RUN to his next performance.

-Charise,

››› WOW--the new Jay and the Americans are AWESOME. I saw them at the Surf Ballroom in Iowa last Friday. What a voice! Jay #3 is the best Jay. We cant wait to see them again singing all the songs that we love. They signed autographs for hours and were very nice. Glad they're back!

››› I saw the New Jay and The Americans in Iowa this past weekend at the Surf Ballroom. They were absolutely fantastic. The new Jay is amazing. I closed my eyes and it brought me back to the good old days. The original Americans were better than ever. I did not realize how much the Americans brought to the show. It has been a long time since they were with Jay Black. This new reincarnation is the REAL DEAL.
