One foot firmly entrenched in ‘50s Chicago blues, and the other planted in the roots stew that is Memphis, Jay Walter and The Rectifiers aim to “set your night right.” Consisting of some of the best roots/blues musicians the Twin Cities has to offer, The Rectifiers never fail to deliver.
We are excited to announce our Winter Blues Festival debut in Des Moines, IA. This festival is one of the leading Blues festival in the Nation. We are honored to be part of this event and can't wait to share the stage with the best of the best in Blues!
JAY WALTER AND THE RECTIFIERS are excited to announce their victory in winning the "Road to Memphis" competition and that they will be representing Minnesota for the International Blues Challenge!IBC will be held January 24-28, 2023 on Beale Street in Memphis, Tennessee!
REVIEW :
" Jay's voice has the spot on blues attitude to give these tunes authenticity. That carries through to his tough harp skills and his hand picked crop of first rate musicians from the Twin Cities blues scene. If you have a hankering for fresh sounding blues that owes a debt to the masters, you just cant go wrong here."
