- Jaye Jayle
As explained to me by Young Widows front man Evan Patterson, the story goes like this: during visits to see his girlfriend in Santa Fe, where she’s currently attending grad school, the Louisville native decided to string up an acoustic guitar and experiment with solo work. He never expected much from it—probably just a way to pass the time—describing the first few songs as “tongue-in-cheek.” But after sampling some of the tracks, friends encouraged him to keep on and make a record out of it. And thus Jaye Jayle was born, a lark that became a legitimate solo project (with occasional musical accompaniment from friends).
