Beans On Toast: Singer-Songwriter in New York

About Beans On Toast

Beans On Toast is the performing name of Jay McAllister, a British songwriter from Essex who emerged from the UK folk circuit in the mid‑2000s. His catalog is unusually steady, built around a long run of studio albums released on an annual schedule. The songs sit between folk‑punk and anti‑folk, delivered with plainspoken writing and economy rather than theatrics. In New York City, he has appeared at Mercury Lounge, including bills with fellow songwriter Will Varley.
