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 Tim Marco.

Bay Area native Tim Marco is a artist who has formed his own unique sound. After establishing himself in the Bay Area he studied music performance at the ICMP in London. He went on to tour Europe and the Caribbean and play with greats like Nigel Hall, Jorge Santana, Narada Michael Walden, Brett Hunter Band (The Voice), Call Me Karizma, Kelechi and Lauren Sanderson. Inspired by modern R&B and old school blues guitar playing Tim Marco weaves vocals reminiscent of Frank Ocean with his own unique guitar stylings.
