*Cosmic Mercy*
and
*Jake Nielsen's Triple Threat*
*COSMIC MERCY*
Cosmic Mercy not only rocks, but comes complete with guitar monster included....no need for batteries here!!! This band plays aggressively with hypnotic grooves and smokey blues. They sing magical harmonies and their original tunes are a la Pink-Flyodesque psychedelia to Stevie Ray guitar work with a King Crimsonish synchronicity.
*Jake Nielsen’s Triple Threat*
Jake Nielsen is the hottest new act in the blues scene!
He’s been making his way all through Northern and Southern California, and not stopping there! He’s making lasting impressions on everyone that watches his talent, and inspiring people with his passion!
Born on march 29 1985. Jake was born with cerebral palsy, limiting the use of his legs. He was always determined to never let that bring him down. So he lived a very active life as a young kid and participated in every sport he could. He played wheelchair basketball, and was the inspiration to start a baseball league for children with special needs.
Sometime during his adolescence he discovered music. He was 15 when he first started playing guitar, and caught on very quickly. He was 17 when he formed his first reggae/rock band FUBAR. Together this band accomplished a lot. They played in many different festivals, and opened up for some many great bands like Passafire, Ballyhoo, Opio, Isreal Vibrations, Mike Pinto, Rebelution and many more. They won the Monterey Battle of the Bands in 2007 and a Swagg Award for best reggae album in 2010.
At some point though Jake felt the calling to play some blues. He started collaborating and touring with Jr. Boogie, a well known harmonica player in the Bay Area and Chris Weinress, a talented bass player with many years of experience. Together they played all over Northern California and opened for such bands as Elvin Bishop, Roy Rogers and Travis Warren of Blind Melon.
That was when Jake, Chris and Derrick came together to form Jake Nielsen’s Triple Threat. They were instant magic. Everyone that saw them play were blown away by the performance they put on. Packed with so much energy and funk that you have to get out of your seat and dance! Together these guys have conquered it all! Headlining in many festivals all over California, and already making their international debut in Canada, they also have their first album self titled Jake Nielsen’s Triple Threat available on Itunes. Already working on album #2.
