About this Event
Join us for our monthly Blues Blowout. You won't want to miss these!
Jules Leyhe might look like your everyday, average, unassuming guy, but he’s one of the world’s foremost blues slide-guitar players—so much so that even Premier Guitar magazine called his music “the best blues slide licks since Derek Trucks, maybe even Duane Allman.” Those might sound like some big boots, but this Oakland native not only fills them, he wears them out and has to order new ones. This year, he is showcasing a new blues series at the Sound Room, where Leyhe and his Family Jules Blues Blowout will be joined by local blues players from around the Bay each month. This month, they’re joined by guitarist and vocalist Jefferson Bergey.
Oakland based, Chicago native Jefferson Bergey leads a musically schizophrenic life. As a solo act, he has over 500 covers in his arsenal spanning the last 75 years of popular music. He’s musically promiscuous and considers himself genre-fluid which is why you may have seen him at Bawdy Storytelling, Allman Brothers Tribute: Freestone Peaches, Lucky Devils Band, or a Monday night at Scopo Divino. He also teaches privately through his own studio, is a virtual game show host for WEVE.co. , and is the namesake of the Bergey Burger, winner of 48hills’ ‘Best of the Bay’ 2020/2021.
