The Rece Jay Band - Funland (2018)

This collection of tunes takes you on a journey through true Americana styles. Never to be compartmentalized, the music carries a common thread of colorful characters and scenarios that will surely entertain and engage the listener.
Though the Rece Jay Band formed in 2012, its true origins go back much further. Singer and songwriter Rece has been friends with drummer Scott Rongey since they were 13 playing Wishbone Ash, Led Zeppelin and James Gang tunes at Jr High and High School parties. She and bassist Gary Sparling wrote together and performed around the Pacific Northwest in the early '80s. The camaraderie shows onstage. So does their versatility.

"My writing is all over the board. I studied classical as a child and in college I studied and sang jazz and was part of a Las Vegas Style show band. I try to write songs that sound familiar and are dance-able and fun. We take our music very seriously, but we don't take ourselves too seriously. And fortunately the band appreciates my eclectic writing style."

The band includes talented musicians capable of playing nearly any shade of Americana.
