Jacob Jolliff
Wednesday, August 19–doors at 7:00, music at 7:30
Jacob Jolliff is one of the world’s premier contemporary mandolinists. In 2011, Jacob graduated from Berklee College of Music, having studied there on a full scholarship. In 2012 he won the U.S. National Mandolin Championship in Winfield, KS. A fixture of the bluegrass scene, he’s performed and collaborated with Béla Fleck, Tony Trischka, Michael Daves, Grant Gordy, Wes Corbett, and Alex Hargreaves, to name a few. For years, Jacob toured as a member of the groups Joy Kills Sorrow and Yonder Mountain String Band. Currently his focus is on his own ensemble, The Jacob Jolliff Band—one of the most progressive bluegrass groups today. They’ve released three albums, most recently “Instrumentals, Vol. 2: Mandolin Mysteries”. This Fifth Street date gives us a rare opportunity to hear Jacob solo—just him and a mandolin. Listen to some tunes here.
