David Jacobs-Strain Crunk Mountain update! the band members have changed a bit: Joe Kyle (of the waybacks) will be joining us on stand up bass. Gabe Turrow will be hitting the percussion. Matt will still be singing harmony and slinging mandolin. We'll certainly play some blues, but there's likely to be some extended jams as well. "...Blues without a net" as Joe Craven would say!

see you soon,

David Jacobs-Strain Back at the Freight! The freight has moved to a new home, and I'll be playing there with Cliff Eberhardt on tuesday. Cliff is a legendary songwriter from NY and a soulful guitar player with a real growl in his voice. I'll be laying down some of my new originals, as well as improvising with Cliff. It's going to be a... great night of guitar slinging, blues grooving, and poetry moaning. See you there!

David Jacobs-Strain I had a great run of sold out dates in the southeast, but I can't wait
for NYC! It's an early show, so bring the whole office... The Rockwood
is small and intimate, but classy, and people really come for the
music. I'll be playing a bunch of new originals, and sneaking in some
swampy old blues ( I did bicycle past an allig...ator in Georgia two days
ago). See you soon!

David Jacobs-Strain I'm playing at Baldwins in Sykesvilleon the 15th, Godfrey Daniels in Bethlehem on the 16th and at
Landhaven B&B on the 17th. All are wonderful listening rooms. Sykesville is a cobill with my good friend, soulful guitar slinger and songwriter Pat wictor. Bob
Beach will be sitting in on harmonica at Godfreys: he's a monst...er
player so hang on for the ride! Landhaven, a beautiful, old, converted
general store was one of the best shows I played last year! I'll be
trying out a bunch of new tunes from my upcoming record, one that I
wrote this week, and grooving on some swampy blues as well. See you
soon!

David Jacobs-Strain My friend and songwriter Nancy Cassidy is promoting two CA house concerts for me this coming week. Some of y'all remember the last show I did at the Cassidy house in Palo Alto: it's a beautiful setting, there's allways something great to eat, and the music is up close and personal. I'll be playing solo, sharing some... of my new tunes and grooving to some swampy old blues. Bring your friends, something for the potluck (if you like) and maybe even your dancing feet!
