David Jacobs-Strain is a fierce slide guitar player, and a song poet from Oregon. He is known for both his virtuosity and spirit of emotional abandon. David displays a range that ties him to his own generation and to guitar-slinger troubadours like Robert Johnson and Jackson Browne.
“I try to make art that you can dance to, but I love that darker place, where in my mind, Skip James, Nick Drake, and maybe Elliot Smith blur together.” — David Jacobs-Strain
David tours with Bob Beach on Harmonica. Their live show moves from humorous, subversive blues, to delicate balladry, and then swings back to swampy rock and roll.
David & Bob have performed many times at music festivals and taught at camps around the country to include: Philadelphia Folk Festival, Juan de Fuca, Strawberry Music Festival, Redding Roots, Bear Creek, Falcon Ridge and Kate Wolf.
We are excited to welcome back David Jacobs-Strain & Bob Beach to Strawberry on Friday, October 17 at 2:15 pm on the Play Stage. Tickets and tunes at the link in our bio!
