Event details
he American blues musician, songwriter and actor Jake La Botz is a versatile artist. As an actor he played (and played music) together with Steve Buscemi, with Sylvester Stallone in "Rambo" and in the cult series "True Detective". Musically he combines authentic Delta blues with rhythm'n'blues grooves as well as elements of early rock'n'roll, gospel and some country. Jake presents his brand new album "They're coming for me" together with the Americana band Smokestack Lightnin', which regularly accompanies him congenially on all European gigs.
We are very happy to welcome this exceptional artist in our series "Blues & Beyond" on our stage.

ROLLING STONE: "...Jake LaBotz turns paranoia into a haunting, Tom Waits-worthy piece of cabaret Americana with "They're Coming for Me," the title track from his newest solo effort. He delivers his lyrics like a method actor, imbuing each line with a mix of theatricality and wild, wide-eyed believability."
STEVE BUSCEMI: "From the first time I heard him playing guitar and singing his songs in a smoky bar on La Brea and Sunset, I became a devoted fan of Jake La Botz."
NO DEPRESSION: "...this idiosyncratic songwriter can handle types of heavy lifting that many others frankly can't."
