Jake Walker
Jake Walker A New York City based blues guitar player, singer, band leader, and song writer, Jake Walker is a growing presence on the international blues scene. He leads several bands, in the U.S., Netherlands, France, and U.K. Jake's unique and powerful take on the blues has been turning heads, and winning new fans on several recent tours across Europe. His first studio album, "Confidence Man", produced and mixed by the legendary Elliot Mazer, was recently released on Left Turn Music. It features some of the best blues musicians on the planet, including Mark Naftalin (original Paul Butterfield Blues Band member), Mike Latrell (Popa Chubby Band), Arthur Neilson (guitar player from Shemekia Copeland Band, playing bass here), and Matt Mousseau. Recorded live in the studio, the album reflects some of Jake's eclectic influences: Stax, gospel, funk, Chicago blues, New Orleans R&B, Texas blues, and even a "surf" instrumental. "Confidence Man" is currently available on Amazon and at concerts.
