Rockin' Jake - Rockin' Southeast Florida with his New Orleans Blues in September!

Rockin' Jake Band
Workin' for a Living!

Widely known as a touring juggernaut among his peers, Rockin’ Jake's schedule of over 200 performances per year include clubs, concert venues, and festivals. Jake has toured with Maria Muldaur and G. Love and Special Sauce and has logged over a million miles touring with his band over the last 20+ years. He was voted "Best Harmonica" 5 times in OffBeat Magazine's Best Of The Beat poll during his time in New Orleans. Collaborations and influences of the best have helped shape and grow the sound of the Rockin’ Jake Band. Their original sound is a hybrid of second line, swamp funk, blues and zydeco.

THE BAND:

Rockin' Jake - Harp and vocals
Steve Laudicina - Guitar
Charles Gasper - Bass and vocals
Rich Conklin - Drums



BOOKING CONTACT:
Doug Tackett
Road Dawg Touring Co.
Tel: (303) 670-9950

Rockin' Jake has been hailed by many as one of the premier harmonica players in the country. His original sound is a hybrid of second line, swamp funk, blues and zydeco with influences from Paul Butterfield, Big Walter Horton, James Cotton, The Meters, WAR, The J. Geils Band, Clifton Chenier, and the Fabulous Thunderbirds. Jake has conjured up this formula that is blowing crowds away from coast to coast. Widely known as a touring juggernaut among his peers, his schedule of over 200 performances per year include clubs, concert venues, and festivals. 

Based out of New Orleans, Rockin' Jake relocated since being flooded out by Hurricane Katrina, then settled in St. Louis and now lives in Southern Florida.  Originally from the East Coast, the "blues bug" bit at an early age for Jake. He immersed himself in the thriving regional blues scene, which boasted such talents as Roomful of Blues, Ronnie Earl, Duke Robillard and Sugar Ray. Primarily self-taught, Jake briefly studied with Jerry Portnoy, harmonica player for Muddy Waters. 

In 1990, when Jake moved to New Orleans he began to work with such notable New Orleans mainstays as: blues diva Marva Wright, Mem Shannon, Coco Robicheaux, Little Freddie King, Tommy Ridgley, Eddie Bo and other local legends. During this time Jake also toured nationally with G. Love & Special Sauce, blues and pop legend Maria Muldaur as well as logging international miles with bluesman T.J, Wheeler. He was selected to perform in an all-star band featuring blues legends Pinetop Perkins and Hubert Sumlin at the Howlin' Wolf.

In 1995 he formed the Rockin' Jake Band as an outlet for his original music and his unique swampy sounds. One year later Jake recorded his debut CD, "Let's Go Get 'Em" (on Rabadash Records) which earned him national recognition. In 1999 Jake produced "Badmouth", on Zuluzu records followed by "Full-Time Work" in 2002 on the same label. It included an all-star cast of musicians such as John Gros (Papa Grows Funk), Ron Johnson (Karl Denson's Tiny Universe), Bryan Stoltz (the funky Meters), Ben Ellman and Theryl "Houseman" de Clouet (Galactic). In the spring of 2004 he recorded his band's first live cd. Over four days in Key West, Florida at the Green Parrot, he and his band recorded 5 p.m. Breakfast on Zuluzu records. Jake's work has also been heard on the soundtrack of "The Big Easy" television series, the theme for the "Mike Ditka Show, " and a Miller Beer commercial. In 2010, Rockin' Jake became an official BBQ judge for the Kansas City Barbeque Society!  He is a five-time winner of Off Beat Magazine's coveted Best of the Beat award for best harmonica player.

In his spare time Jake managed to snare some culinary kudos in New Orleans, taking the trophy for "Best Barbequed Brisket" at the 1999 New Orleans Musicians Barbeque Competition, and launching his own line of signature hot sauce: "Badmouth" (the edible version)..."man it's hot!"...just like the band! The Rockin' Jake Band (consisting of Steve Laudicina, Charles Gasper, and Rich Conklin) are truly hard working musicians with extraordinary talent. They pour out their souls in every performance with high energy and electricity which consistently brings the audience to their feet.

Longineu Parson and Ted Shumate's 21 Blue LIVE FROM HEARTWOOD CD Release Events CANCELLED this Weekend

From Ted Shumate, 10pm, 8/28/19:

"To our Jacksonville and St. Augustine friends, Longineu Parsons and I have postponed our concerts this weekend due to the threat of Dorian in the area. At this time Dorian is projected to be a possible CAT3 hurricane at landfall. We want all of our friends there to be safe and to take the necessary precautions to weather the storm. Please do not take this storm lightly and if you are in an evacuation zone, please heed the warnings! We will reschedule our concerts soon and look forward to seeing you all and performing for you again soon!"

21 Blue

~ Blues for the 21st Century ~

"Drawing from almost a century of blues history, Live From Heartwood is soulful and entertaining. The selections start way back with Louis Armstrong, stop by Howlin’ Wolf’s place, then pick up a funky hit from Pee Wee Ellis, a veteran of James Brown’s band. Throughout, the 21 Blue ensemble shows the versatility, virtuosity, and confident interpretation to lead the blues idiom into the 21st century for which they’re named. With this album, they’re well on their way to that goal.  ~ Harold Fethe

Tribal Disorder is a musical expression of the universality of being 

human. Tribal Disorder calls attention to the disorders in the human

tribe, and the need for all of us - as one human species -  to come

together and live harmoniously. This begins with looking inward and

asking ourselves; How can I be a better citizen of the human tribe? 

​"Lets take the High Road and be positive - spread some love - 

make it better for everybody." - Dr. Longineu Parsons
