| Jaik Willis is powerful performer based in the Chicago area, relocating back to Illinois after a year and a half of non-stop touring around the US. He has opened for acts such as the Drovers, Leftover Salmon, Merl Saunders, and Victor Wooten; and performed on stage with acoustic blues dynamo, Corey Harris. He has performed in ILL, MI, WI, OH, MN, NJ, NY, GA, AZ, TX, IA, NE, CO, MT, CA, OR, WA, and BC. He maintains a long mailing list from these regions and schedules about 100 shows a year.
Jaik’s 4-octave voice stretches out in vocal solos and scatting over his high-energy acoustic guitar work on original songs that are accessible and lyrically intriguing.
Jaik Willis is an educated musician, having trained at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Illinois and California State Universities' music departments, and in Hollywood's Musician's Institute as their youngest student when he was 16 years-old. He spent all of his teen-age years practicing over 10-12 hours per day. After studying jazz and Euro- classical music, Jaik received an ethno-musicology/ anthropology degree with a thesis on microtonal guitar music from Mauritania. He is always seeking performance opportunities and new avenues forward for his music. For more information, visit their website: http://jaikwillis.com
