Modern roots singer, songwriter, consummate finger-style & slide guitarist David Jacobs-Strain says "I come from the language of the country blues, but it's important not to silence other influences." The results cohere into a genre-defying journal of Jacob-Strain's pursuit to honor both the roots of American country blues and the possibilities that grow from them.
      Only in his mid-twenties, Jacobs-Strain is already a veteran of the national club and festival circuit. In 2008 he was chosen by Boz Scaggs to be the opener for his tour. Jacobs-Strain 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. His festival credits include the Strawberry Music Festival, MerleFest, Switzerland's Lugano Blues to Bop Festival, Newport Folk Festival, Telluride Blues Fest, Vancouver Folk Festival, and the Montreal Jazz Festival. He's also served as faculty at guitar workshops, most notably at Jorma Kaukonen's Fur Peace Ranch.
      "David Jacobs-Strain sings & plays slide-driven country blues with a passion and authority that few artists of any age can muster. But, besides firing off compelling covers of traditional tunes...his original songs have served to update and evolve the idiom, winning widespread respect from the contemporary blues community." ~Guitar Player Magazine
