Cris Jacobs releases new album and kicks off tour with Tommy Emmanuel

Jacobs teams with The Infamous Stringdusters, Jerry Douglas & more on new release.

Cris Jacobs lost his way. Most of us do. Part of the story is in those lost days. But more of the story is in what we find again.

"As kids, we always had that feeling of, things are going to work out, the way I dream they'll work out," Jacobs says. "But then, the goal posts keep moving. And you wake up one day, and you're 45 and still reaching." Jacobs has gone for a walk in the hills outside Baltimore, which is still home. He takes a deep breath. "I think that's human nature, and that's what I've come to accept and embrace."

Cool Cool Cool - Raleigh NC 3-6-2024

Cool Cool Cool brought their infectious grooves to the Lincoln Theater in Raleigh!

After the unexpected demise of one of my favorite funk bands in 2022, Turkuaz, I was like most of their fans, very disappointed.  Fortunately the majority of the former members didn't waste much time before conjuring up a plan to change course. Suddenly like a Phoenix, rising from the ashes of that fiery collapse, a new band was born that they collectively named Cool Cool Cool.   A fresh vision based off of their experiences on the road and the tight relationships that they formed touring together for over a decade.
