Beans On Toast: Folk Musician in New York

About Beans On Toast

Beans On Toast is the stage name of British songwriter Jay McAllister, who came up through the UK folk circuit in the mid‑2000s and works in a plainspoken blend of country, folk‑punk, and anti‑folk. His discography follows a self-imposed ritual: a steady run of studio albums released year after year. In New York City, he has appeared at Mercury Lounge, including alongside fellow songwriter Will Varley. The songs favor direct narrative and wry social observation over spectacle.
