Join us for our monthly Blues Blowout. You won't want to miss these!

Jules Leyhe might look like your everyday, average, unassuming guy, but he’s one of the world’s foremost blues slide-guitar players—so much so that even Premier Guitar magazine called his music “the best blues slide licks since Derek Trucks, maybe even Duane Allman.” Those might sound like some big boots, but this Oakland native not only fills them, he wears them out and has to order new ones. This year, he is showcasing a new blues series at the Sound Room, where Leyhe and his Family Jules Blues Blowout take a look at new music each month.

Tim Marco is a guitarist, singer, song-writer and multi-instrumentalist with an inclination for writing sun kissed hooks with relatable narratives. After establishing himself in the Bay Area he studied music performance at the ICMP in London. He went on to tour Europe, the Caribbean and playing guitar with greats like Nigel Hall, Jorge Santana, Narada Michael Walden, Brett Hunter Band (The Voice), Lisa Pac, Call Me Karizma, Kelechi, Mike Taylor and Lauren Sanderson. Inspired by modern R&B guitar playing Tim Marco weaves vocals reminiscent of Frank Ocean with his own unique guitar stylings.
