Ridgefield Folk: The Jacob Jolliff Band

  • Ridgefield Library 472 Main Street Ridgefield, CT, 06877 United States (map)

Jacob Jolliff is one of the world’s premier contemporary mandolinists. He graduated from Berklee College of Music, having studied there on a full scholarship. The following year he won the USA’s National Mandolin Championship in Winfield, KS. A fixture of the bluegrass scene, he has performed and collaborated with Béla Fleck, Tony Trischka, Michael Daves, Grant Gordy, Wes Corbett, and Alex Hargreaves, to name a few. 

Currently, his focus is on his own ensemble, The Jacob Jolliff Band—one of the most cutting-edge progressive bluegrass groups on the scene today. The band plays a combination of complex original instrumental music and vocal repertoire that spans from trad bluegrass to unlikely pop covers. Improvisation and the ensemble interplay are at the forefront.
