Award-winning young American musician and scholar Jake Blount is an exceptional banjoist, fiddler and singer, and a winner of the 2020 Steve Martin Banjo Prize. His debut solo album Spider Tales was released in 2020 to widespread acclaim, with glowing reviews from The Guardian and Rolling Stone among others.

Jake’s work shines a light on the major contributions that Black, Indigenous and LGBTQ artists have made to American folk and traditional music. He has studied with roots music luminaries including Rhiannon Giddens and Bruce Molsky, and has shared his music and research at prestigious venues including Newport Folk Festival and the Smithsonian Institution among many others.

Jake will be touring with his own accomplished four-piece stringband, featuring George Jackson (fiddle/banjo), Nelson Williams (double bass) and Gus Tritsch (acoustic guitar/banjo uke). Expect a captivating blend of old time fiddle tunes, evocative jazz and blues songs and footstomping bluegrass.
