DAVID JACOBS-STRAIN w/Bob Beach, Megan Keely & The Keelys
DAVID JACOBS-STRAIN is a fierce slide guitar player, and a song poet from Oregon. He's known for his virtuosity and spirit of emotional abandon, as well as his clear, powerful voice. His music moves from humorous, subversive blues, to delicate balladry, and then swings back to swampy rock and roll. It's a range that ties him to his own generation and to guitar-slinger troubadours like Robert Johnson and Jackson Browne. He has appeared at festivals from British Columbia to Australia, including Merlefest, Telluride Blues Festival, Philadelphia Folk Festival, Hardly Strictly, Bumbershoot and Blues to Bop in Switzerland and has toured with Boz Scaggs, Etta James & Lucinda Williams.
"David Jacobs-Strain sings and plays slide-driven country blues with a passion and authority that few artists of any age can muster. But besides firing off compelling covers of traditional tunes his original songs have served to update and evolve the idiom." -Guitar Player
Tonight he celebrates the release of his new, live cd (much of it recorded at our venue) with harmonica virtuoso Bob Beach.

With the release of her album, Ready or Not, MEGAN KEELY is again breaking new ground with songs celebrating life and strength. Her songwriting first caught the attention of producer T Bone Burnett, who selected Megan's song, Rules (co-written with her brother Brandon) for inclusion on The Hunger Games Soundtrack Companion Album. "Megan Keely is a stunning young woman with a voice that will break your heart and heal it all in one sitting." - Annie Bacon -The Folk Opera
