David Jacobs-Strain & Bob Beach

About David Jacobs-Strain & Bob Beach:

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 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 Festival, Redding Roots, Bear Creek (Ca), Falcon Ridge  and Kate Wolf About Tom Breiding & Wil Kondrich: Singer/songwriter (and working rock guitarist) Tom Breiding has been creating a sub-genre  of Americana for decades. A celebrated writer, Breiding focuses on the true heart and soul of America and its working class. Tom is joined by Union Railroad bandmate/guitarist Wil Kondrich, an artist in his own right, steeped in the tradition of the great Steeltown rockers.
