About Jacob

A brief background into Jacobs music

Jacob is a solo percussive fingerstyle guitarist Based in East Sussex near the seaside town Eastbourne. He has been playing since he was 14, although to begin Jacob started playing Jazz/funk drums but soon moved to playing guitar after seeing a local folk guitarist play at a festival in Eastbourne, Jacob was so impressed by the sounds that he immediately got a number from a local music shop to learn fingerstyle folk music and to his surprise the number was for the very person that he saw playing at the festival, and so for the next 10+ years he had lessons from an amazing local guitarist called Terry Lees, after about 4 years of lessons Terry suggested that Jacob enter for the young acoustic guitarist of the year competition and was lucky enough to be accepted to the final, since those serendipitous moments music became the sole focus in life for Jacob and has been playing guitar at many different Venues, Theaters, Pubs and Folk Nights .
