jay mcelwain
Born and raised in Muhlenberg County, Jay McElwain has been writing songs for 35 years. He has spent the last twenty-seven of those years in the education field, employed as a high school Agriculture teacher in Muhlenberg County. As a result, his songwriting and performing have primarily been hobbies. However, his approach to his songwriting is much more serious than that of a hobby. Inspired by many of the great lyricists of the past, Jay incorporates the various styles of writing used by his songwriting idols into his own original works. Most of his songs create storylines around characters dealing with everyday life, while all are intended to evoke an emotional response from the listener. Some are drawn from Jay’s own personal experiences, yet many are simply creations of his imagination. In his songs, you will hear traces of Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt, Mickey Newbury, John Prine, Kris Kristofferson, and many others. In addition to his original works, Jay also performs various covers from country, rock, pop, and other genres.

last call
Founded in 2011, Last Call began as a group of friends with a shared love for great music and an even greater love for performing it live. What started as a small cover project quickly grew into a full-time passion—one built on packed shows, an ever-expanding song list, and a commitment to delivering the kind of high-energy entertainment that keeps crowds coming back.
Over the years, the band has seen several lineup changes, each new member adding their own style, influences, and spark to the group’s evolving sound. These transitions didn’t slow the band down; instead, they helped shape a flexible, dynamic identity. Whether it was the addition of a versatile guitarist or a rhythm section that could groove through any genre, every era of the band has brought something fresh to the stage.
Today, Last Call stands as a seasoned cover band known for turning every event—big or small—into a memorable experience. Their setlists span decades and genres, covering everything from rock to country. No matter who steps into the lineup, the mission has remained the same since day one: play great music, have a great time, and make sure the audience does too.
