The Jacob Jolliff Band

Jacob Jolliff is one of the world’s premier contemporary mandolinists. In 2011, he graduated from Berklee College of Music, having studied there on a full scholarship. The following year, in 2012, 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. Additionally, throughout his 20s, he toured as a member of the groups Joy Kills Sorrow and Yonder Mountain String Band. 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. They’ve released three albums, the most recent of which, “Instrumentals, Vol. 2: Mandolin Mysteries,” dropped in May 2024. 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.

About the Event This show is a dedication to Hospice of The Piedmont Doors 6:30 PM, Music starts at 7 PM.

The Front Porch invites you to a special evening of music and community, with a concert dedicated to our partnership with Hospice of The Piedmont. Local Musicians Devon Sproule and Clara George will share songs, stories, and experiences from their work providing music for Hospice care patients, and welcome conversation and questions from the audience after their set.

Devon Sproule works in songwriting, instrument-learning, and hospice music at The Front Porch and MIMA Music. She and her husband Paul Curreri make music on Patreon and every once in a while she records an album and goes on tour like the old days. She can tie her shoes really fast and in another geekier life would have been a board game / martial arts / birding enthusiast.

Clara George wears many hats as a musician; she can be found working as a hospice musician, songwriter, performer, utility musician, and teacher. When Clara isn't picking her banjo or writing a new song, she enjoys spending time with her family, cooking, and gardening.
