National Touring artist “ROCKIN’ JAKE BLUES BAND” & “THE MARTY STOKES BAND” APPEARING SUNDAY JAN. 31 (2pm to 6pm)
“ROCKIN’ JAKE” has conjured up a formula that is blowing crowds away from coast to coast. JAKE has been hailed 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. He appears in over 200 performances per year include clubs, concert venues, and festivals.
Based out of New Orleans relocated (post Katrina) to St. Louis and now lives in Southern Florida. He immersed himself in the thriving regional blues scene, which boasted such talents as Roomful of Blues, Ronnie Earl, Duke Robillard and Sugar Ray. Primarily self-taught, Jake studied with Jerry Portnoy, harmonica player for Muddy Waters. He has worked with such notable New Orleans mainstays as: Marva Wright, Mem Shannon, Coco Robicheaux, Little Freddie King, Tommy Ridgley and Eddie Bo. He toured nationally with other local legends like: G. Love & Special Sauce, Maria Muldaur, T.J, Wheeler, Pinetop Perkins and Hubert Sumlin at the Howlin’ Wolf.
In 1995 JAKE formed the Rockin’ Jake Band as an outlet for his original music and his unique swampy sounds. In 1996 he recorded his first album, “Let’s Go Get ‘Em” which earned him national recognition. In 1999 Jake produced “Badmouth” and “Full-Time Work” in 2002. It included an all-star cast of musicians such as John Gros (Papa Grows Funk), Ron Johnson (Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe), Bryan Stoltz (the funky Meters), Ben Ellman and Theryl “Houseman” de Clouet (Galactic). In 2004 he recorded his band’s first live cd in Key West at the Green Parrot. He also recorded “5 p.m. Breakfast” and has been heard on the soundtrack of “The Big Easy” television series, the theme for the “Mike Ditka Show”, a Miller Beer commercial and is a FIVE-TIME WINNER of “BEST OF THE BEAT” the coveted OFF BEAT MAGAZINE award.
