Big Rude Jake Tours Saskatchewan & Manitoba

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Big Rude Records) - Big Rude Jake's passion for classic Americana and his talent for writing compelling lyrics has resulted in five very powerful, highly original albums for a loyal fan base around the world. As a craftsman of song, Jake has been favourably compared to Ry Cooder, thanks to the deft way in which he experiments with a number of styles, mixing blues, ragtime, jump, jazz and rock together. As a lyricist, Jake has been aligned with such noted luminaries as Noel Coward, Jaques Brell, Berthold Brecht, Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits. Some have suggested that his voice is reminiscent of Willie Nelson when he's crooning, and Howlin' Wolf when he's shouting.

On this tour, Jake will be singing his own songs as a solo act, featuring his adept finger-picking acoustic guitar style that gives a classic "rural blues" quality to his already passionate material. The effect transports the listener to another time and place as, all the while, Jake plays his new and thoroughly modern material.

He embarks on a tour of Saskatchewan and Manitoba Monday, October 25th through Wednesday, November 10th, 2010
