The Sheoak Shack in Fingal Head opens its doors to spring and a new season’s line-up of quality local music this Saturday, with song-smith and folk/roots performer Bill Jacobi.
Just back from recent tours with his duo Method and a stint on the bass with old favourites Floyd Vincent and the Child-brides, Bill will be bringing some new songs as well as his laidback lap slide and foot stompin’ grooves to The Shack’s opening night of entertainment.
Having also been spotted of late at Ukitopia’s Cabaret 360 and in ‘The Songs of Haight Ashbury’ show that rocked Stokers Siding so soundly, Bill uses foot percussion, lap slide and open tuned guitars that snake and rattle around songs both evocative and passionate.
The result is a repertoire of engaging and exciting material that runs the gamut from folk to funk, from hillbilly to swamp and beyond.
