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 will be joined by local blues players from around the Bay each month. This month, they’re joined by guitarist and vocalist Jimmy Leslie.

Jimmy Leslie, aka "Trickey Frets" is a Bay Area based guitar player and vocalist who is Frets Editor at Guitar Player magazine, and leader of Spirit Hustler and the Allmond Brothers. Leslie co-founded the Guitarfish Music Festival and the Star City Music Festival. He authored the eco-musical, Guitarfish Adventures: Blue is the New Green.
