The project Sanford: is the brainchild of Brooklyn-based and South Carolina-born musician Jay Sanford. He does all of the writing, arranging, and performing for his recorded music. Much like his influences and listening habits, his songs have a wide-span of genres.

Big Tent Revival is his third full-length album, releasing January 30, 2026, and his fourth album is currently in Production. Several singles are out now, including “Content.”

The new album was written, arranged, recorded and performed entirely by Sanford:, aside from “Just Waiting” which features Jay Rattman on assorted woodwinds, and the new project “sheds light the modern music industry, AI, fleeting love, the passage of time, religion and more.”

Sonically, the album includes a mix of Jazz, Country, Americana, Folk, Prog-Rock and more.

LIVE DATES:

Feb. 25 – Skinny Dennis Brooklyn, 9pm-12am

Mar. 6 – Skinny Dennis Nashville
