Meet the Blue Light Musicians! 🎶🧡

Nashville-born and now a Midland local, Jared Gray brings a songwriter’s heart shaped by years working alongside some of the music industry’s biggest names. Since 2020, his focus has turned from life on the road to family, storytelling, and sharing songs of his own.�

Follow On Social Media:

Connecting back to the Public Arts Midland 2026 theme, art heals, Jared shared, “Art heals because it gives people a place to put their emotions. Sometimes a song says what a conversation can’t. The music I write comes from life lived; the road, family, change, loss, faith, and finding your way back home. I think honest storytelling creates connection, and connection is where healing begins.”

Join us to enjoy live music and help paint a community mural June 13th from 11a-4p at Harry’s Sewer, 351 W Saginaw, in Sanford! 🦊🎨🎶

Meet The Blue Light Musicians! 🎶🧡

Jolie Wing is an indie-folk singer songwriter based in Nashville, Tennessee. Jolie’s honest lyricism and haunting guitar parts captivate audiences. She’s been writing since she was in fourth grade and has been performing ever since. After moving to Nashville in 2022, she’s been bursting with creativity and can’t wait to share it. In early 2026 she successfully funded a kickstarter campaign in order to release her debut album later this year. She is recording it with the assistance of Grammy award winning producer Brown Bannister.

Connecting back to the Public Arts Midland 2026 theme, art heals, Jolie shared, “Art connects us to each other when feelings that isolate get put to a melody and shared with others. Songs are tapestries of our experiences and relationships and being together for live music is the pinnacle of all of this.”
