JT Gray of the Station Inn just passed away at 75; he was a great friend to musicians, and a good bluegrass guitarist and bassist himself. He was on the Grammys just last week presenting an award from in front of the club's stage, so this really comes as a shock.
Besides all the great music for 40 years he really made the place a home away from home for working musicians, and of course it was a really fun place to play. He used to drive tour-buses sometimes years ago to help pay the bills, and I got to spend a lot of time with him sitting up front while he drove on a tour I was on. He didn't usually talk a lot but he was a great hang; gonna miss him.
RIP JT |

Covid has claimed too many great ones...J.T. allowed freedom to flourish...He was the reason the Station Inn was the venue for the creative side of music. He let music happen. Electronic and Acoustic instruments came together in his tavern...He will be missed!
