Biography:
Neil Jacobs is truly a masterful performer on the 12-string guitar. With his own style of
playing that the St. Louis Riverfront Times describes as "mesmerizing” and the Austin
Chronicle describes as "the rockin'est since early Leo Kottke". Neil covers the world vibe
with music diverse and varied as Gypsy, World, Balkan Folk, Classical and Modern
Fingerstyle guitar. Neil draws a great deal of inspiration from his world travels and
experiences. His recent interests include the Gypsy music of Eastern Europe and the
Balkans as demonstrated in his recent critically acclaimed release, “American Gypsy”.
His most recent release simply titled, “12-String Guitar” showcases a collage of captivating solo 12-string guitar compositions. Neil is featured in the Ohio Arts Council Touring Roster.
Neil Jacobs has had a colorful and unconventional musical career. From performances
in refugee camps in Sarajevo, to appearances at the Kennedy Center and the Palace of Culture in Seville,
Neil’s unique style with the 12-string guitar fascinates audiences and critics alike. His
original compositions have more than a cross-cultural appeal, they also appeal to
diverse musical tastes. With underpinnings of jazz, nuances of new-age, touches of
flamenco, and strong leaning to Gypsy music of Eastern Europe, Neil’s self-styled
“world music” performances have been described as “mesmerizing”.
