David Jacobs-Strain returns to Winnemucca

Harmonica virtuoso Bob Beach accompanies

David Jacobs-Strain is a fierce slide guitar player, and a song poet from Oregon.

He's known for both his virtuosity and spirit of emotional abandon; his live show moves from humorous, subversive blues, to delicate balladry, and then swings back to swampy rock and roll.

Jacobs-Strain returns to Winnemucca for a Friday, Sept. 19 show at The Martin Hotel beginning at 7 p.m.

"I try to make art that you can dance to, but I love that darker place, where in my mind, Skip James, Nick Drake, and maybe Elliot Smith blur together," he said.

Jacobs-Strain began playing on street corners and at farmers markets as a teenager, and bought his first steel guitar with the quarters he saved up.

This event is presented by Great Basin Arts and Entertainment, a local all volunteer grass-roots non-profit, organized to bring world class performances to our community. Tickets are available at Global Coffee, Nature's Corner and The Martin Hotel or online via the Martin Hotel website: www.themartinhotel.com. For more information visit www.gbae.org.[[In-content Ad]]
