Texas Jake has been performing on the "underground"blues circuit both solo[on resonator guitar]and with electric slide guitar with his band the"HOUSEROCKERS"for many years.His love for blues started at an early age.At 13 years old he was already on the road traveling with his thumb and his guitar through the Mississippi Delta,Texas,Oklahoma.Alabama,Louisanna,and as far away as California,picking up gigs where he could and making a lot of friends.Through the years there have been a lot of bass-players,drummers,keyboardist,horn-players,etc. but the central theme has been the same---play from your heart and make the music the best it can be!
