“Bay and his band always put in a great performance! Very easy group to work with. ”
— Paul Rizzo, Owner, The Bitter End, NYC
“This 9 yo gets on stage and first you think, okay he’s just a guitar prodigy and then you watch him actually leading a band of musicians twice his age like an old pro, then he starts to sing, then to jam and you’re trying to make sense of what you’re seeing, you’re looking around going, where did this kid come from?
We have 1000 blues shows a year at our bar, it is not often to be so impressed... And by a 9 year old.”
— Tommy Burghardt, General Manager Friends Bar Austin, TX
“Watching you catch fire on stage is what I live for in an artist! Even seconds before there were sound issues and a show delay. When you came out you remained a true professional and were immediately possessed by the music and stage.”
— Marion J. Caffey, Producer, Amateur Night & Holiday Special at the Apollo
“Bay is a dream to work with. He’s a crowd pleaser—a gifted guitarist with an incredible stage presence and a warm, magnetic personality—who is always prepared, whether performing with his amazing band or as part of a collaboration with musicians from other cities. A consummate professional, he’s been as ready to rock in NYC as he’s been in LA, London, and Canada. It’s always a genuine pleasure to have him perform for us.”
— Lisa Schorr Co-Founder - KRFK
“I recommend The Only Bay as an addition to any festival lineup without reservation. Bay’s infectious energy and enthusiasm as a not only a performer, but also supporter of others is a model for performers many times his age. One of our staff members was impressed that Bay was rocking out right in front of the stage during another performer’s set before I informed him that Bay was not only one of our performers, but the band leader and showman in his own right. He went from impressed to amazed when he saw it for himself, along with our patrons.”
— Mike Metz, Director, Future Legends Festival, Austin, TX
“I don’t think I need to explain to anyone, who has seen or heard him play, of his phenomenal skill with a guitar. I was not prepared for Bay’s incredible musicianship, dedication and leadership in not only fronting his own band, but in bringing together a successful global collaboration band with only a couple of days to rehearse.”
— Domenic Guidotti - KRFK Come Together Festival Canada
“We loved having The Only Bay Allstars perform at the Queens Night Market! The crowd was on their feet rocking out with Bay the whole time. The entire band are pros through and through. Hope to have them back very soon!”
