After you eat up the last of Mom’s pumpkin pie and take that quick catnap, slip on your ‘going-out’ gear and head down to the Silver Moon for a live show featuring slide guitarist David Jacobs-Strain, Saturday November 28 at 9pm.

Grove Presents brings this guy to Bend every year, but this time there is an added bonus. The usually solo artist is bringing  his full band, making this regular one-man-band, four.

I haven’t had the chance to catch him live yet. This Saturday’s show will be my first. I’m a huge fan of the slide guitar, my favorite being from Ben Harper, so I’m excited to see what this guy is all about. I went to his website and listened to some tracks, and the kid’s got chops.

Here’s an excerpt from his site giving a little info about himself and his show…

David Jacobs-Strain is a slide guitarist and modern roots singer-songwriter whose musical journey begins in the wellspring of Delta blues but ranges far afield from there. In his mid-twenties, he already channels age-old wisdom and heartache with such dexterity, energy, and passion that you feel good, even about feeling bad.

He tours nationally and has numerous festival credits, which include the Strawberry Music Festival, MerleFest, the Lugano Blues to Bop Festival in Switzerland, the Newport Folk Festival, and the Montreal Jazz Festival. He’s also served as faculty at guitar workshops, most notably at Jorma Kaukonen’s Fur Peace Ranch. In 2008, Boz Scaggs chose him to open for his summer tour.

Looks to be a great show. It’s 21 and over and $10 to get in, tickets at the door.
