In this Jay Emmons Interview, the Glorious Sons guitarist shares his journey in the music industry and the challenges the band faced in the early days. He discusses his transition from being a singer to focusing on playing guitar and singing backups. Jay also talks about the dynamics of being in a band with his brother and the importance of maintaining a good relationship. He shares his favorite Glorious Sons songs, the experiences of opening for the Rolling Stones, his love for his family and the joy he finds in watching his daughter grow up & touring with the Rolling Stones 

Jay co-founded The Glorious Sons in 2011, and his brother Brett joined up shortly after, as the lead singer. The band plays good old-fashioned high-energy bar room rock and roll. They're from Kingston, Ontario Canada and since 2013, they've released 1 EP and 4 LPs including their latest record, Glory. The band's toured Canada, Europe and the states, and have had 13 singles in the Canadian Top 10 charts, including 4 #1's. And if you want a good introduction to the band, check out Sawed Off Shotgun, which is a heavy song lyrically but a fun song, musically… as is Speed of Light off the new album, Glory. 

 


There's a particular kind of conversation that happens when a guitarist picks up an instrument, but the real stories often come when they put it down. Everyone Loves Guitar, hosted by Craig Garber, lives in that space. It’s less a formal interview and more like pulling up a chair in a backstage lounge or a quiet corner of a studio. Garber’s guests-celebrity players, revered musicians, and behind-the-scenes industry figures-open up in ways that go far beyond gear and technique. You’ll hear the unvarnished backstories, the pivotal moments that defined their careers, and the personal philosophies that drive them. This podcast digs into the history of the music itself and the people who make it, revealing the life lessons and personal development that come from a lifetime dedicated to art. Each episode feels like a deep, meandering chat with a fascinating friend who just happens to have an incredible tale about life on the road, the creative process, or the sheer joy of a perfect riff. It’s for anyone who believes the guitar is more than wood and strings; it’s a conduit for human experience. Tune in for honest talk about the music, the struggles, and the triumphs that resonate long after the last note fades.
