DJ Jamie Hurst

Jamie Hurst, aka “DJ Thrift”, was born into music with his grandfather having been a superb lounge musician entertaining swingsters through the late 40’s and early 50’s with organ and song. By age seven Jamie was receiving weekly doses of 45’s and tuning into WABC radio for “The Hits.”  Drums soon followed and Jamie settled into a deep groove at The Berkley College of Music in Boston, which led to a ten-year stint of rock drumming and “oh-so-close” record deals with labels like EMI and Columbia.

Jamie expanded his creative palette with extensive travels to Europe and the East Village for new vinyl, and he prides himself in bringing all of his life’s experiences and musical knowledge to your table.  With an extensive vinyl collection, Jamie has the music and provides all the knowledge, passion and experience that will ensures success for your event.

 What Clients Say About DJ Jamie

“We had previous experiences with JTD and at those events the music selection was excellent, as was the incorporation of our requests. This year the music selection was spot on (as always) and Jamie’s ability to assess the crows was excellent!”

Hey Jamie,

“Gotta take a quick moment to tell you what a great job you did on Saturday. I’m getting phone calls and e-mail from our guest tell us what an amazing time they all had, and that is in no small part due to your efforts and true professionalism…!”

Thanks again. Tara and I are off to Italy…

Jamie,

“We have just returned from honeymoon, and are finally in the company of a steady internet connection 🙂  So, we did not want to waste another moment before sharing the biggest, hugest thanks for your work on our wedding!??Truly, we could not have been paired with a better DJ: you were totally into our tastes in music, exceptional on the meeting-and-follow-up tip, and ideal on the mic and turntables.  You kept it mellow when need by, hyped it up when the moment was right, and read the crowd like a book.  In short, you rock at what you do.  We just received the survey from JTD, and you can bet we will translate our effusive praise into a big gold star on the report card, so to speak 🙂  ??Take very good care, and best wishes for autumn!”

“Thank you so much for a FANTASTIC job. Every song you played made us happy. Thanks for all the time and patience to go through with Mary to find the right music. This was obviously much more than a “job” and more like music. Your presence and sensitivity to the moment, as promised, was fantastic. You made memories.”
