About Me


"If you'd like to hear the alcoholic love child of Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Pixies, Tyler Jakes & The Bootleggers might be the show for you." - Effie, sf bay area rock (Mar 05, 2008)
"Blasting out of the gates with the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club rocker Lie Awake, Jakes is intent on laying down some truly dirty rock and roll here." - Steve McPherson, Pulse of the Twin Cities
"Jakes' music comes across as an amalgam of blues, folk, and punk...disparate and adventurous as it is, seems like a recorded document of spontaneous artistic bloodletting. Somebody get this man some more canvas!" - Christopher Matthew Jensen, Rift Magazine
"Tyler Jakes is one of those guys that I hear and think… ‘Why haven’t I heard of him before?’ His songwriting skills are very, very good for an unsigned artist." - The Audio Nut, Entertainment Nutz
"...gritty and witty songwriting and playing." - Vernon Reid (of the Grammy Award winning group Living Colour)
Tyler Jakes & the Bootleggers are a spaghetti western influenced rock n' roll band based out of San Francisco, CA. Their influences are a blend of 60's psychedelic rock, western outlaw folk, 70's style punk, garage rock, and heavy blues. Jakes has released two albums, Lo-Fi Matter (2005) and Rocking Hoarse Calypso (2008), as well as scored the short film "Under The N" by John Salvatore. Jakes can currently be heard on the Discovery Channel show "Deadliest Catch" with his song "Gamblers Off The North Pacific Shore".
