Settle in at The Grape Rebellion with a glass of wine as Savage Wonder presents FREE MUSIC featuring Hudson Valley’s best musicians, singers & songwriters.

Songs with teeth, lyrics with layers, and a sideways look at the world. Jay Strauss brings his uniquely rhythmic, subtly warped take on indie rock to the stage for a night of music that’s both heady and deeply human.

Jay Strauss is a songwriter based in the Hudson Valley, crafting poetic, subtly off-kilter songs that blend post-punk angularity with folk undercurrents. His 2024 debut album, Based on a True Story, is a melodic puzzle box of lyrical nuance and unusual structures—produced by Andy Stack and featuring Lee Falco, Adrien Reju, and Shauna Ward. No cover.
