I’m excited to be bring my Wing Bass with me on my trip to IMERSA. I can finally travel with just two bags, no checked luggage, and can still bring a bass to play. Fits nicely in my Coleman Max backpack.

This year he will be reprising his role as “Ace” with Cirque Dreams “Rocks” for a summer tour starting in Cancun, Mexico.

Outside the world of music Jay Lamm is also a painter and a writer. His paintings combine recorded music that couple along with their visual representations.
