Siouxland's Nightlife Authority
Young Band of Blues
It’s been said that the blues had a baby and it’s name is rock and roll.
One Northwest Iowa band has embraced this musical union with a passion. The Jacob Lee Band is gaining fans throughout the area with a rocking mix of classic rock and blues. Led by young guitar wizard Jacob Lee, this band of college students play a brand of music that was created before they were born. The set list might include some Hendrix, ZZ Top and maybe even AC/DC. Lee drives this high-energy show with his strong guitar performance, however lead singer Natha Ohlinger draws audiences in with her captivating voice and delivery. Drummer Russell Weller and bass player Jeff Kuhns provide a solid rhythm section to anchor the soaring Lee.
The band has been performing throughout the Midwest including an appearance at the 2009 Harvest Jam in Chicago and an opening slot for rockers LA Guns. Sioux City music fans will have a chance to catch this young band at the Chesterfield on Friday, January 22. Weller says they are excited to return to Sioux City and look forward to meeting new fans.
