The Jake Walden Band

Raw. Real. Rocking. South Florida-based Jake Walden is keeping the blues alive with his unique brand of music, which has catapulted him onto the scene and led to his quick rise as an in-demand guitarist and vocalist. Inspired by iconic guitar players such as Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, Joe Bonamassa and others, Jake has developed a rich, R&B-esque, funky, blues guitar-playing style that he feels deeply... and audiences love. Jake developed his slide playing based on the styles of Duane Allman and Derek Trucks, yet his sound is all his own. It resonates and captivates. As a full-time, professional musician and songwriter, Jake is fulfilling his calling. In 2018, Jake was selected to represent Florida's Treasure Coast chapter of the Blues Foundation in the International Blues Challenge in Memphis. For 30-plus years, this major event hosts top talent from all over the world. Jake was both honored and humbled to have competed. Jake has played alongside notable musicians such as Popa Chubby, Matt Scofield, Jeff Prine, Joel DaSilva, Mark Telesca, JL Fulks, JP Soars, Frank Bang, and Shaw Davis. Jake also played and recorded with Tyler Greenwell, the Grammy-award-winning drummer for Tedeschi Trucks Band. From headlining gigs with his own band (which plays Jake’s original songs and also covers from greats like Jeff Beck, Buddy Guy, Jimi Hendrix, The Allman Brothers and more) or playing as a special guest to touring acts visiting Florida, look for Jake Walden on the stage... and in the spotlight.

 

Shaw Davis & The Black Ties

Shaw Davis is quickly becoming an artist to watch in contemporary blues. He's a fast and flashy player whose approach rests equally on technical assurance and musical intelligence. Known for his raw and emotional style, the 21 year old guitarist has bursted his way onto the Blues-Rock scene. Backed by drummer Bobby Van Stone and bassist Patrick Stevenson, Shaw Davis & the Black Ties feature their own brand of Psychedelic Blues-Rock that continues to win over fans and crowds of all ages. The young power trio, formed only months ago, has already made an appearance on Blues Radio International and been featured in South Florida Music Magazine for their crowd pleasing performances. The band also took home the "Fan-Favorite" award after blowing the audience away at the South Florida Blues Challenge. Shaw Davis & The Black Ties have created a serious buzz in the blues-rock community that is a force to be reckoned with. Don't miss your chance to catch Shaw Davis & the Black Ties in action.
