SUMMARY:SUNDAY SERENADES: THE JACOB JOLLIFF BAND
DESCRIPTION:Sunday Serenades: Relax and enjoy an afternoon of outstanding
  entertainment\, featuring premier world-class classical chamber music\,
  classical crossover\, jazz\, Broadway\, comedy\, oldies\, indie\, and e
 verything in between. Jacob Jolliff was born into a musical family in Ne
 wberg\, OR. His dad started him on the mandolin at age seven and require
 d him to practice ten minutes a day. But after six months of practicing 
 this minimal amount\, something clicked\, and almost overnight he starte
 d putting in several hours of intense practice daily. And this hasn’t re
 ally changed in the last 20 years. Throughout middle school and high sch
 ool\, Jacob picked in a bluegrass gospel band with his father. They play
 ed festivals and churches throughout the northwestern United States\, an
 d became a staple at the Sunday morning gospel shows. During this time h
 e had the opportunity to meet and play with many of his heroes\, includi
 ng Ronnie McCoury\, David Grisman\, and Chris Thile. Though Jacob was mo
 stly self-taught to this point\, lessons with great players such as thes
 e kept him inspired and moving forward. When he was 18\, Jacob was award
 ed a full scholarship to The Berklee College of Music in Boston. He move
 d to Massachusetts to start school in 2007\, along with a lot of the oth
 er young musicians he had grown up with. There he studied under the late
  mandolin great John McGann\, who was a huge influence. Under John’s sup
 ervision\, he spent many six-hour practice days working on a variety of 
 styles from bluegrass to jazz to celtic music. In 2008\, during his soph
 omore year of college\, he joined the New England based roots music band
 \, Joy Kills Sorrow. Over the next few years the group toured extensivel
 y throughout the United States\, Canada\, and Europe\, playing hundreds 
 of clubs\, theaters\, and festivals. Because of the group’s rigorous sch
 edule\, it was a challenge for him to stay in school\, but he still mana
 ged to graduate in 2011. Shortly after\, in 2012\, he won the National M
 andolin Championship in Winfield\, Kansas. In 2014\, after three records
 \, hundreds of shows\, and thousands of miles in a 15 passenger van\, Jo
 y Kills Sorrow went on an indefinite hiatus. Fortuitously\, as this chap
 ter of Jacob’s musical journey ended\, another important one began. With
 in a couple weeks of the band’s last show\, the young mandolinist got a 
 call from the progressive bluegrass jam group\, Yonder Mountain String B
 and. They had parted ways with their original mandolin player and were l
 ooking to try out someone new. Jacob went on his first tour with YMSB in
  June of that year. He immediately connected musically and personally wi
 th the band\, and shortly after he became a full-time member. Jacob play
 ed with Yonder until the end of 2019\, releasing three albums with the g
 roup. Now in 2023\, the mandolinist’s main focus is The Jacob Jolliff Ba
 nd. This ensemble is a group of virtuosic pickers that play Jacob’s orig
 inal instrumentals\, as well as showcase his singing. They tour national
 ly in the US and have also travelled to Scotland and Australia to perfor
 m. The group has released two albums\, “Instrumentals Vol. 1” in 2018 an
 d “The Jacob Jolliff Band” in 2022. In 2022\, Jacob was called on by wor
 ld famous banjo player\, Béla Fleck\, to tour as part of My Bluegrass He
 art. He performed around the country alongside Béla and some of the very
  best musicians in the genre: Bryan Sutton\, Cody Kilby\, Justin Moses\,
  Mark Schatz\, Michael Cleveland\, Stuart Duncan and Billy Contreras.\n\
