Jaycob Van Auken ~ Saturday, July 15, 2017 ~ 5:30 to 7:30 pm
Jaycob Van Auken's style is incisive and genuine. He is a rock classicist with a singer-songwriter streak. His propensity for blending rock, blues, folk and country allows his songs to move in various directions, while keeping the same destination, finding a home somewhere in the midst of Tom Petty, Lyle Lovett, Van Morrison and The Faces. The expressive immediacy of his voice is distinctive and demands attention, calling to mind the soulful songs recorded back in Muscle Shoals, as well as the rock classics heard in his mom's van while growing up.
