Neil Jacobs performs for the Allegany Arts Association

April 25
David A Howe Public Library
Auditorium
Neil Jacobs in Concert

"For more than 25 years, Jacobs has circumnavigated the globe performing his exotic hybrid of gypsy jazz, flamenco, and Eastern European Folk on solo 12-string guitar" - Guitar Player Magazine

Neil Jacobs is truly a masterful performer on the 12 string guitar. With his own captivating style of playing that the St. Louis Riverfront Times describes as "mesmerizing" and the Austin Chronicle describes as "the rockin'est since early Leo Kottke". Neil covers the world vibe with music diverse as Gypsy, World, Balkan Folk, Jazz, Classical and Modern Fingerstyle, while transforming his 12-string guitar into his own personal orchestra. Neil draws inspiration from his world travels and experiences, and shares his fascinating stories with his audience.

"Jacobs has the ability to make his 12-string sound like 24 strings being played by three people" Malcolm X Abram, Akron Beacon Journal

"Imagine Russian cowboy music. Imagine flamenco joined with Balkan dances. Imagine one guy doing all that while sounding like a whole orchestra. That's what 12-string guitar virtuoso, Neil Jacobs, offered"
The Cleveland Sun Messenger
