David Jacobs-Strain was born in New Haven, Connecticut, but he grew up in Oregon where he began to play guitar when he was only nine years old This young singer and guitar player is strongly connected with rural blues tradition and deep Delta blues with some drops of roots folk music as well He always surprises me with every new piece of work he publishes, because it is really astonishing how quickly he is maturing as a musician Gifted with a huge talent, David gives us a bright performing along Ocean or a Teardrop and he really knows how to communicate a powerful energy and a tasteful sensitivity which easily flow from the first to the last song included in the cd
