Show Notes
Episode 345: Last year, The String got a new opening theme tune. "Vera" comes from New York based mandolin virtuoso, composer and band leader Jacob Jolliff. The Oregon native came East when he got a scholarship to the Berklee College of Music and joined a cadre of future acoustic stars clustered in the Boston area. He's worked for some big-league bands including Joy Kills Sorrow and Yonder Mountain String Band, but in this decade he's pursued his own four-piece Jacob Jolliff Band. We talk about building the audience for instrumental, improvisational acoustic music and about select pieces from Jake's fascinating discography.
