A folk band? Americana? Rock? What the fuck are you gonna say now?! laughs Jake. With this album, I wanted something outside of what Ive ever done. I wanted to open up. Do something dangerous. Im hard to put into a singular genre as it is, but now I really wanted to take away any kind of preconception or pigeon-holing.And dont ask me, cos I dont know what it is! Its a genre-bending thing theres elements and influences from ELO, Daniel Lanois, Tom Waits, The Boss, circus, pirate music, yacht rock, and Im driving and pushing some of these numbers in a way Ive never done before.At the top of the pandemic, I put the acoustic guitar on its stand, got a synthesizer and began writing on it, not really knowing how to play keys, just exploring the different sounds and landscapes. In the not knowing, it allowed me to expand my vocal melodies and compositions in ways the guitar had possibly limited. CHRIS JONESWhen hes not fronting local Santa Cruz band Wolf Jett, Chris stays true to his folk, soul and country blues roots. Born in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, his voice is smooth as Tennessee whiskey and his guitar pickin cuts from Chet Atkins to Keith Richards in no time.As versatile a musician as you will find, Chris is able to seamlessly intertwine classic and obscure covers with his seemingly timeless originals. He can play to any crowd under any circumstances, and hes proven it time and time again, whether busking the streets of Europe, or touring the sweatiest clubs and hushed house parties across this good ol USofA.
