Jaymie Graves & the Strays

Jaymie Graves and the Strays bring a playful, sophisticated mix of jazz, swing, blues, and reimagined favorites to the Central Texas music scene. Leading the group on vocals and flute, Jaymie Graves moves easily from smoky standards and romantic ballads to bossa nova, soulful blues, and unexpected selections drawn from across the American songbook.

Previously appearing as the Jaymie Graves Jazz Odyssey, the project has evolved into Jaymie Graves and the Strays: a lively ensemble built around expressive vocals, spontaneous musicianship, and songs audiences recognize and love. Their performances are polished without feeling overly formal, balancing vintage jazz-club charm with an easygoing Texas personality.
