Profile Information

About Me:: Welcome to my Live Blues page. I'm Jake Haldenwang and I am a 13-yr-old electric & acoustic blues guitarist, singer & songwriter. I got my first guitar, in the summer of 2006, at age 11. I've been playing guitar, for about 2 1/2 years now.

I learned to play by listening and practicing to every blues/rock CD that I could. At age 12, I began to perform live. I don't like to perform song's the same way that the original artists played them. I am more of an improv guitar player, I like to put my own spin on songs and lay down new licks. I also love to write and compose my own music and I have written seven original songs.

I have two bands, my five piece band, "Jake Haldenwang & Hwy 61" & My 3 piece, power trio, "Jake Haldenwangs Blues Brew". "Hwy 61 " & "Blues Brew", delivers a unique brand of scorchin' Blues, while blending traditional & progressive rock blues, with searing guitar solos, intense vocals and a hard-driving/high-powered rhythm section.

I have met some of the most wonderful and supportive people through my music. Some of the highlights of my life is to have met two of the greatest blues guitarist & my greatest music inspirations, Johnny Winter & Joe Bonamassa. I have also had the pleasure and honor to perform with great regional and national blues recording artist, Tommy Castro, Robin & Tony Rodgers, The Contagious Blues Band, Rusty Barkley and The Part Time Blues Band, Mac Arnold (former bass player for Muddy Waters) & Plate Full O' Blues, Mick and The Ultras, The Bill Miller Band, Michael Wolf and The Voodoo Brothers, Shannon Hill and The Blues Providers, and Tommy Thunderfoot.

Additionally, I am humbled to have been chosen, by the Charlotte Blues Socitety, to perform at the 25th, 2009 International Blues Challenge, in the Youth Showcase. I will be performing with my power trio,
"Jake Haldenwangs Blues Brew" at Club 152, in the Youth Show Case, on Friday, Feb 6th at 3:30pm..The IBC is the largest event of it's kind in the world and is attended by the best Blues musicians and industry execs from around the globe.

Playing guitar and making music is my passion in life, thanks for visiting my Live Blues Channel

Favorite Blues Artists and Bands: I am inspired by all the old and new guitar greats but, I am mostly inspired by, Johnny Winter, Rory Gallagher, SRV, Joe Bonamassa, Derek Trucks, Duane Allman & BB King.
