TATTOO ACROSS AMERICA TOUR (2008)

CREATOR OF THE BLUES "TATTOO CIRCUIT"

About Me

Band Members: My Name is Jake La Botz. I learned how to play blues from legends like Robert Johnson compadre "HoneyBoy" Edwards in my hometown Chicago. Hung out in the punk scene of the early 80's...dropped outta school...stole a couple of cars...wound up in L.A. in the late 90's playing in a Black Baptist Church in South Central and tattoo shops like Gill Montie's Tattoomania and Mark Mahoney's Shamrock Social Club...I act in films (see the trailer for Rambo below or check out imdb). I'm the only musician who tours at tattoo shops.
