Biography:

Back in Toronto, Canada, Jay Linden is a semi-reclusive legend (1" = half a mile) who's a musician of 45 years standing and a few years sitting down. He writes and sings haunting, memorable slices of time and space firmly rooted in a folk sensibility. His two CDs, "Under The Radar" (2009) and "Satchel" (2006), are both available.

Press:

“I must say Jay was the hit of the evening... Since his departure I have been enjoying Jay's CD. Those of you who get to hear his songwriting regularly are fortunate indeed.”
Dean Verger - posted to Maplepost discussion list

“dammit, it IS good - warm and friendly and fine guitar and mandolin work and an easy, weathered voice.”
Richard Flohil - posted to Maplepost discussion list

“Heerlijke poetische muziek, bol van fraaie metaforen vergelijkbaar aan de stijl van een andere Canadeese globetrotter; Ian Tamblyn.”
de Volkskrant

“This is a very impressive CD that should quickly and deservedly go to the top of the folk music charts in both here and Canada.”
Kevin McCarthy - Kevin & Maxine’s Celtic & Folk Music CD Reviews

“These are simple songs... Through them shines the light of a good soul and a weary traveler who knows both his own limits and those of listeners for whom the sheer communal delight of an honest song sung well is company enough”
Greg Quill - Toronto Star
