David Jacobs-Strain
*RESCHEDULED FOR FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12 AT 7:30 PM*
Slide guitarist and singer-songwriter David Jacobs-Strain grew up in Oregon, far from Mississippi, but found his first musical home in the Delta blues. There are various references in his music - bluesmen Skip James and Charlie Patton, Afro-pop star Salif Keita, Indian slide guitarist Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, rock icon John Lennon - but his work as a whole falls neatly in the gaps between multiple genres. His latest release, Liar's Day, was produced by Kenny Passarelli (Otis Taylor, Stephen Stills).
In only his mid-20's, David is a veteran of the national club and festival circuit. In 2008 he was chosen by Boz Scaggs to be the opener for his tour. David has also shared the stage with T-Bone Burnett, Bob Weir, Los Lobos, Lucinda Williams, Taj Mahal, Etta James, Dave Mason, and the Blind Boys of Alabama.
