Hi everybody - this is Jake - thanks for stopping by my page. I'm an old school blues/rockabilly/surf player heavily influenced by the various styles from the 50's. Always trying to find fresh stuff to play over a swinging blues! Check out my band - Ten Dollar Thrill - a great harp-fronted traditional blues band.
Personal life-wise my wife Susan and I have one daughter, Iris. I'm originally from Southeastern Mass and graduated from Penn State.
hello Jake ! Just passing by to say hello. I'm thinking of you and your nice family too. I listened to your new songs, always great... All the best. Sophie
WE ARE VERY SAD... WE DON'T HAVE WORDS TO SAY ANYMORE... OUR SINGER AND DOBRO PLAYER ENRICO MICHELETTI IS DEAD. GOODBYE ENRICO KEEP THE BLUES ALIVE WHEREVER YOU ARE!!!!
Can't wait to hear your new stuff, cause the player is spinning some great Rockabilly, nice guitar work and energy. Glad to see your post today on BBF.
