Jake Green Band is not your average blues band.
With remarkably experienced musicians and an extraordinarily strong lead vocal, the band not only aims to venture outside of the boundaries of convention, but also has the technical foundation to do so. The sound of this power trio is an artful mix of blues rock, heavy shuffles and heart-wrenching slow blues, sure to reverberate in your chest and soul.
Jake Green Band released its long-awaited first studio album "Plugging in" in October 2015, to follow the live album from the Malmo Festival in 2011. It consists of 12 original songs which have all been roadtested thoroughly live over the past years.
The band members span 30 years in age and professional experience in the music industry. This is perhaps what creates the unique combination of solid, traditional blues craftsmanship and elements of other styles of music from the past three decades.
