My guest today is Jay Tooke an Award-winning, Canadian born producer, songwriter, and musician who moved to Nashville back in 2012. Having gotten his start as a working musician at the age of 17 some of his earliest memories are of plunking out melodies by ear on the family’s piano, but it was the intro to Dire Straits “Money for Nothing” that lit a fire in his soul for the drums. Not long after he started a love affair with the guitar and from then on, his sights were set on a career in music.  During his 26 year career, he has toured all over the world with a range of artists from Canada and the US, and has produced records that have garnered critical and commercial success in Australia, New Zealand, Germany as well as Canada and the US.  His philosophy behind making records has always been about helping the artist find their own voice in the studio. It’s never about forcing ideas or making the record he wants to make. It’s a collaboration between producer and artist to find the truest form of the song. Allowing the material to become the best version of itself through exploration and experimentation. Thanks so much to Bobby Holland for the introduction.

RSR311 - Jay Tooke - Nashville Country Rock Drums

Jay Tooke's drumming is generating some serious buzz on the new album by The Steel Woods.  Old News is the perfect blend of sensitive, artful balladry and pure rock bombast by our guest this week.  Jay grew up north of the border in a small Canada town learning to play drums at an early age.  Like many drummers, he played in lots of bands and paid his dues in the clubs and bars there.  Once he relocated to Nashville, things got busy in a hurry for Jay and his drumming.  On episode 055, Jay recalls his early years as a drummer, making the move to Nashville, joining The Steel Woods and shares great insight into the recording of their brilliant new album.  Jay offers tons of great stories and knowledge that will inspire and assist musicians in this great interview.
