The Arcata Playhouse is thrilled to announce an unforgettable evening of progressive bluegrass with the Jacob Jolliff Band. Fans of virtuosic mandolin playing and innovative bluegrass will not want to miss this Wednesday evening performance of original acoustic music at the Arcata Playhouse on July 10th. Jacob Jolliff, widely regarded as one of the most technically proficient and soulful mandolin players of his generation, is a former member of the beloved bluegrass ensemble Yonder Mountain String Band, and has now carved out a solo career with his exceptional talent and deep love for bluegrass music.
Jacob got his start in a bluegrass gospel band with his father when he was still in middle school, where they played throughout the northwestern United States. During this time he had the opportunity to meet and play with many of his heroes, including Ronnie McCoury, David Grisman, and Chris Thile. Though Jacob was mostly self-taught to this point, lessons with great players such as these kept him inspired and moving forward.
In 2022, Jacob was called on by world famous banjo player, Béla Fleck, to tour as part of My Bluegrass Heart. He performed around the country alongside Béla and some of the very best musicians in the genre.
Now in 2024, the mandolinist’s main focus is The Jacob Jolliff Band, featuring a rotating cast of some of the most virtuosic and innovative young pickers in the country, including Alex Hargreaves, Stash Wyslouch, Jeff Picker, and Mike Barnett.
