“Take the intensity of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s scorching guitar technique and apply it to Bob Dylan’s stark, earnest songwriting, and what you now have is the music of bluesman Jake Lear,” writes Elmore Magazine. Lear, who was born in Vermont and raised on blues and country music has spent the last three year’s playing to thousands on Memphis’ renowned Beale Street, honing the hard-hitting blues on which he is building a growing national reputation.

Join us for this bluesy concert on our outdoor stage after the opening reception of WATER|BODIES where Jake will be joined by Claes Brondal on drums and Jeff Marshall on bass.
