Streetlevel Uprising represents the creative power of one man, his guitar, and his way with words.

Jay Canter is the force known as Streetlevel Uprising and the new album, Dusk To Dawn Revolution, is a poetic journey carrying a spirit of awareness, observation, and growth.

This is Sublime meeting Bob Marley and recording a jam session with Jack Johnson.

Don’t forget to peep the length of his dreads in the photo. Major kudos, sir.

Jay recorded, engineered, and mixed this record on his own but once word started spreading about his yet to be released project, friends began dropping in to contribute everything you hear behind the man and his guitar.

Including 13 tracks of uplifting frequencies, Canter delivers his humanitarian message finding a balance between “we’ve had enough, time to stand up” and “don’t forget to celebrate the beautiful things”.

Streetlevel Uprising is raw, poetic, and damn good at crafting songs.

 “Pounding something in people’s heads is not the way you make change,” he cautions. “Emotion connects people.”

Reflecting on the title, Canter says: “I’m a dusk to dawn revolutionary. Just like everyone else I work all day and I’m creative at night. But the title also means you don’t have to be a fulltime revolutionary. You don’t have to quit your job and stop bathing,” he laughs. “Take part of your time to devote yourself to something bigger than yourself. If all of us took five minutes a day think about how much we could accomplish.”
