A Michigan treasure
Often described as a Michigan treasure, Jay Stielstra has been writing and performing his original songs throughout the Midwest for several decades. The author of a number of musical plays, including "North Country Opera," "Tittabawassee Jane," "America America," and "The Prodigals," Jay is an award-winning actor and gifted playwright. Jay's songs have that indefinable quality that instantly makes a song an old friend. Jay Stielstra's Michigan classics tell stories that cut to the heart of the human experience. With clarity, wry observation, humor and honesty Jay captures the universal elements of friendship, love, loss, war and the wonder of fly fishing in the still of the north woods. Judy's pure vocals and John's versatile dobro playing are the perfect complement to Jay's weathered voice and solid guitar licks. Part folk, part country, part Irish pub song and part polka—Jay's music enriches the spirit and captures the essence of our lives in Michigan. Tonight Jay performs his one-man musical "Old Man in Love," which includes "Manistee Waltz" and several other classic songs.
