JACOB WALLER
UK civil servant, music teacher, session musician, World Marmalade Award Winner and small time YouTuber, this is Jacob Waller's first published book of banjo music. Jacob was born and brought up in Cumbria, in northwest England, and is now based in Bristol, in the southwest, with his partner Karen, Harry the Cat, and little baby Robin, the newest addition to the family. Jacob teaches bass, guitar and banjo, and plays all three of these in his band Between the Breaks.
Jacob's approach to banjo playing is very much in the melodic clawhammer and progressive tradition of Ken Perlman, Michael Miles, Mike Iverson and Dan Walsh . He can be found on YouTube at BigYellowPraxis, where you can find video essays on pop, rock and folk music, with a particular focus on progressive rock, the Beach Boys and Brian Wilson.
He continues to arrange more classical pieces for the clawhammer style, so watch this space!
