Rockin’ Jake, five-time winner of Off Beat magazine’s “Best of the Beat” award as top harmonica player in New Orleans, brings his band and a trademark hybrid of second line, swamp funk, blues and zydeco to the Rockfish Grill at 8 p.m. Thursday, July 10.

Hailed by many as one of the premier harmonica players in the country, his influences range from Paul Butterfield, Big Walter Horton, James Cotton, The Meters, WAR, J. Geils Band, Clifton Chenier and the Fabulous Thunderbirds. He is a touring juggernaut with a schedule of more than 200 performances per year at clubs, concert venues and festivals.
