Jacob Jolliff Band

July 10th- Jacob Jolliff Band

Jacob Jolliff was born into a musical family in Newberg, OR. His dad started him on the mandolin at age seven and required him to practice ten minutes a day. But after six months of practicing this minimal amount, something clicked, and almost overnight he started putting in several hours of intense practice daily. And this hasn’t really changed in the last 20 years.

Mandolin virtuoso Jacob Jolliff has built a reputation as one of the most exciting and accomplished players in modern bluegrass. A National Mandolin Champion and Berklee College of Music graduate, Jacob first gained national attention with the acclaimed roots band Joy Kills Sorrow before spending five years as a member of the progressive bluegrass powerhouse Yonder Mountain String Band.

Today, Jacob brings his own music to the stage with The Jacob Jolliff Band — a group of masterful musicians blending bluegrass tradition with adventurous instrumental interplay and standout songwriting. His dynamic playing and expressive vocals have taken him across the U.S. and around the world, including performances with legendary banjo innovator Béla Fleck as part of the My Bluegrass Heart tour.

The bandplays a combination of complex original instrumental music and vocal repertoirethat spans from trad bluegrass to unlikely pop covers. Improvisation and the ensemble iterplay are at the forefront.
