Harmonica Seminar & Rockin' Jake Band Performance at The Frog and The Hummingbird Co & Butterfield's Roadhouse March 5, 2009

Thursday March 5 Harmonica Seminar 6:00 to 7 PM Rockin’ Jake Band 7:30 to 10 PM
Based out of New Orleans since 1990, Rockin' Jake relocated briefly to Ft. Worth Texas as a result of the Hurricane Katrina Floods and then settled in St. Louis where he now makes his home.. Rockin' Jake has been hailed by many as one of the premier harmonica players in the country. His original sound is a hybrid of second line, swamp funk, blues and Zydeco with influences from Paul Butterfield, Big Walter Horton, James Cotton, The Meters, WAR, J. Geils Band, Clifton Chenier, and the Fabulous Thunderbirds. Jake has conjured up this formula that is blowing crowds away from coast to coast. He was selected to perform in an all-star band featuring blues legends Pinetop Perkins and Hubert Sumlin at the Howlin' Wolf. In 1995 he formed the Rockin' Jake Band as an outlet for his original music and his unique swampy sounds.
