August 13, 2023Perfect for us!
We booked Jay for a Backyard 60th Birthday Party. Prior to the event, Jay was so quick to respond and answer any questions and work on a couple of special song requests. Upon arrival and as he was warming up on his guitar, we knew he was going to be perfect for our party. Our guests ranged from 20-somethings to a couple of 80 y.o.'s., and everyone just loved Jay's sound. Jay played a huge part in making our party a very special and memorable event.

August 5, 2023Jay is the vibe you need at your party!
Jay was absolutely spectacular performing for our block party! He showed up early to set up, was so kind, and had the whole block jamming! Our event was really elevated with his performance and we would absolutely have him back for any future events.

October 9, 2018Absolute wonderful time
An amazing time had by all. Very talented. Great music selection and super easy to work with.
I asked Jay if he would MC the whole wedding reception instead of just play music. He nailed it! He helped keep us organized when we weren't.
Jay is great and did a wonderful job for us. Highly recommended.

Thanks, Randy. Your idea to have me MC, DJ and play live music made for a very fun night for me. You have a great group of friends and relatives, too! Thanks again for making me a part of your night!

July 16, 2025A good time was had by all
I hired Jay for my 50th Birthday Yacht Rock birthday party and a very good time was had by all. His set list was great, he kept the vibe going during dinner and kept the energy up once the dancing started. Everyone loved him!

Jay Casmirri is an amazing singer, as well as playing great arrangements on guitar and piano on a wide range of songs that please a wide range of audiences. Sometimes a little bit rock, sometimes a little bit country, with tons of old favorites and some of the best new songs as well, just to be sure that everyone is happy. Full sound systems in several configurations included, along with stage lighting when needed. Just show Jay where to plug in, and he'll take care of the rest!
About
Jay Casmirri is a vocalist who accompanies himself on both guitar and piano (not at the same time!). He has an amazing voice, and plays songs that prove to be crowd-pleasers at every performance.
After almost 30 years of being a part of the Arizona music scene, Jay relocated to Des Moines, Iowa in 2012, then on to Denver in 2021. In Arizona, he fronted the popular duo "THE BLENDERZ" for 15 years. Prior to that, he provided lead vocals, guitar and piano to several valley bands, as well as soloing since 1980. Also a songwriter, Jay composed a song entitled "Let It Light Our Way" as a fundraiser for the Space Shuttle Childrens' Fund (which was used at the Challenger Memorial Visitor Center for many years) and wrote and engineered an original score for the independent film "WAR".
He has also written, performed and recorded numerous jingles and radio spots, including his recent writing and performance of a song for SEVEN CLANS CASINOS in Minnesota through his now-Denver-based creative company, Vivid Gray, Inc.
These days, Jay is dedicating more of his time to performing live music, and looks forward to meeting you at his next appearance around Colorado.
Additional booking notes
Jay is a very flexible performer and despite playing both piano and guitar, can set up in a very small space, or can cover 1,000 or more in an outdoor setting.
