Jeromy (Jay) Smirnoff has been a Sacramento bassist for 18 yrs. He’s played in a multitude of bands including rock, rap, punk, reggae, and blues. Growing up, he split time between Michigan school years and SoCal summers. The year he turned 13, he spent a good portion of the summer mowing lawns to buy a guitar from his friend; the first steps towards becoming the bassist he is today. He’s opened for Alien Ant Farm and Devin the Dude, has done session work for Tyrese, Long Beach Rehab, and Devon Evans (of the original Wailers). While playing some of the best festivals across America, he’s shared the stage with Kottonmouth Kings, The Itals and several other notable artists. Check him out at jaysmirnoff.com.
