After 10 years as guitarist, songwriter, and singer for Baltimore band The Bridge, Cris Jacobs is embarking on a solo career. With the new Cris Jacobs Band, he has tapped some of Baltimore's finest musicians and written a bunch of new material. With the upright bass wizardry of Jake Leckie, the textured and subtle drumming of Mike Gambone (also of The Bridge), the beautiful, haunting pedal steel guitar work of Dave Hadley, and the blissful harmony singing and tasty rhythms of Cris' longtime musical partner, Ed Hough, this band creates a fresh and unique sonic palate that is a perfect complement to Cris' soulful sound.
