Bio
A dynamic and soulful guitarist and singer, Garrett Big G Jacobson is currently based in Chicago, IL. Born and raised in Oklahoma, Jacobson's sound is rooted firmly in the blues, but heavily influenced by soul and jazz. Originally a pianist, Garrett began playing guitar at age ten. By age twelve, his playing had caught the attention of local blues legend and Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame inductee D.C. Minner, with whom Garrett played for the following three years. It was during his tenure with Minner that Garrett received the nickname Big G. In 1998, Garrett formed his own band and recorded his first record, Rhythm Attack. To date, he has released a total of four CD's which have received critical praise in such publications as Living Blues, Blues Revue and Southwest Blues. In addition to having performed at countless venues throughout the midwest, Garrett has shared the stage with such blues greats as Jimmy Johnson, Carl Weathersby, Smokey Wilson, Joe Louis Walker and others. His latest CD release, In Person (2011), captures the dynamic energy of his live show: Garrett and his tight working band serve up an offering of soul-blues with the raw energy and spontaneity that only a live recording can capture. Garrett Jacobson always delivers a world-class, soul-satisfying show that is guaranteed to please.
