A writer in the respected Allmusic.com once put it this way: "Her singing is like a strong cup of Joe -- it beelines to the gut and jolts the system."

And that's putting it mildly.

Michelle’s music is regularly played on blues radio and internet programs all around the globe and her original music was featured in the HBO series “Mind of the Married Man”, as well as on the House of Blues compilation album Essential Women in the Blues.

 Whether moaning a blues or joyously shouting a jump tune, Michelle and her band have the rare ability to make this music sound fresh and exciting, as well as timeless and classic.

Jacob Jolliff was born into a musical family in Newberg, OR. His dad started him on the mandolin at age seven and required him to practice ten minutes a day. But after six months of practicing this minimal amount, something clicked, and almost overnight he started putting in several hours of intense practice daily. And this hasn’t really changed in the last 20 years. Now in 2023, the mandolinist’s main focus is The Jacob Jolliff Band, which is regarded as  one of the most cutting-edge progressive bluegrass groups on the scene today. This ensemble is a group of virtuosic pickers that play Jacob’s original instrumentals, as well as showcase his singing. They tour nationally in the US and have also travelled to Scotland and Australia to perform. The group has released two albums, “Instrumentals Vol. 1” in 2018 and “The Jacob Jolliff Band” in 2022.

1964: The Tribute focuses on the quintessential moment in history, when The Beatles actually played before a LIVE audience.  

They toured the world in the early 1960's, but now only a  precious few remain who actually saw them LIVE; who actually felt the "mania" that brought them to world acclaim. And today, all that remains are a few scant memories and some captured images in pictures and on poor quality film and video.

"1964" meticulously re-creates the "MAGIC" of those LIVE Beatles' performances with artful precision and unerring accuracy. For those that never saw The Beatles LIVE and always wanted to know what it must have been like... this is as close as anyone could possibly get to...FEELING the MAGIC!
