The Band Memo burst onto the NYC music scene in 2025, quickly earning a reputation for electrifying live performances.
Rooted in the spirit of classic rock but guided by a distinctly modern perspective, their sound feels both familiar and forward-looking.
Blending virtuosic musicianship with thoughtful, tightly crafted songwriting, The Band Memo’s live sets unfold as a dynamic journey - moving from soaring, guitar-driven peaks and psychedelic dance breaks to moments of raw self-reflection.
After selling out their first two NYC shows, along with a recent sell-out at DROM NYC in the East Village in early 2026, The Band Memo is fast emerging as one of New York City's most compelling new acts.

Jay Faires
Born in Memphis but raised in the mountains of East Tennessee, Jay Faires began his musical journey in bluegrass barns and parking lot jams around the age of 7, often getting side-eyed by the “bluegrass purists” in those circles for his musical shenanigans. With a deadhead taper for a father, and a natural love for the sound of the electric guitar, Jay’s curiosity has led him to exploring the art of guitar tone to the fullest. Jay Faires is the creator of Jerry Tone Store, inspired by his lifetime love of the sound and tone of Jerry Garcia. He performs an acoustic set of tunes that he feels are able to transcend time.
