Jay Som + The Courtneys

The venues keep getting bigger for Jay Som, also known as Melina Duterte, who has stopped off at both Baby's All Right and Rough Trade this year and returns now to take on Bowery Ballroom. The Oakland, California–based songwriter creates alluring dream-pop that delivers memorable moments of atmospheric bliss and cathartic release, as evidenced on her latest album, Everybody Works, which mixes tight rock tunes with ambient clourishes and ’80s pop moodiness.
