About

I have a B.A. in music performance from the University at Buffalo, with a focus on the guitar. I focused on jazz music, which included solo arrangements and chord melodies, to jazz ensembles ranging from two instruments to big band. I also studied classical music involving solo pieces as well as ensembles. I enjoy many styles of music that include rock, folk, blues, and pop. I am also interested in music theory and fret board harmony. If any of this interests you as well, I'd love to meet you!

Jacob performed at our annual Community Event this December along with another musician and did a wonderful job! He did exactly what we asked for and then some. We would love to have him again in the future.
