About this Event
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 take a look at new music each month. This month they will be performing with Mads Tolling.
Two-time Grammy Award-winning violinist Mads Tolling celebrated for his innovative compositions and exceptional skills, brings his extensive background as former member of the Turtle Island Quartet and Stanley Clarke’s band. This pairing promises an electrifying blend of Tolling’s virtuosic jazz violin and Leyhe's guitar mastery, and boundless energy. Together, they are redefining genres with a fusion of jazz, funk, blues, and Americana, creating a vibrant, one-of-a-kind soundscape.
