PI JACOBS Los Angeles singer-songwriter Pi Jacobs plays what she calls an “Americana bluesy rock thing,” one nonetheless edged by accents evoking her urban San Francisco childhood. Enamored of her mother’s rock- and soul-heavy music collection, she sang throughout school, picking up guitar, bass and songwriting as a teenager. She earned her GED and left high school early, then pursued music studies at the local junior college. A period of woodshedding, gigging and recording ensued, culminating in the release of Pi’s debut album. She spent two years in New York before landing in L.A., which has proven fertile creative ground and a convenient base for touring. !
What Is “The Box?”In addition to her “smoldering vocals” (ParcBench.com), and intricate guitar playing, Jacobs plays a homemade percussion stomp box, driving her “one woman band” show. (Similar to Texas favorite, Shakey Graves) to the next level of high-energy, dynamic fun.
“Jacobs is known for her slick guitar playing and prowess as
a multi-instrumentalist, but her singing is the most potent
element of this collection of funky, tight, and driving roots rock.”
Geoff Geis LARecord
“Pi Jacobs is definitely a singer with class and her songs carry real weight and melody on their own.”
- Andy Snipper, Blues Matters
On tour in late 2015, in the tiny town of Floyd, VA. Pi met the head of Travianna Records at one of her performances, and was offered a record deal on the spot. In between European and US touring last year, Pi went to Floyd to work with producer and multi-instrumentalist, Aaron Ramsey. The result is a true collaboration of Pi's “Americana bluesy rock thing,” and Aaron's deep Bluegrass roots. A truly unique and all-acoustic album, A Little Blue will be released in March 2017. It is Pi's 7th commercial release. !
