About Me

Exoskeleton

"...is as down to earth as he is talented, and the sound of his acoustic baritone guitar entices you and frees your mind." ~ Zero Magazine, Jan '07
********
24 y.o. gay unorthodox instrumental guitarist. I write things, I play things, and I record things.
I've got an e-mail list where I can keep you up to date, make bad puns, and let you know about recording news and stuff. You can either go to www.JacobWolkenhauer.com to sign up, or email info *at* jacobwolkenhauer.com .
You can listen to an interview / documentary of me at http://www.jacobwolkenhauer.com/media/Documentary.mp3
I'm recording a new album! Whoooooo!
As a rule of thumb, I play at Blake's every monday night. In addition to any gigs I'm playing, I think the Songwriter's Symposium there is a damn lot of fun.
My demo CD is sold out. While the physical ones are gone forever, the mp3's are still available on !

How’s the album coming?

The album has been going amazingly well. I've got most of the songs tracked, and now I'm doing overdubs. For most of them, I've had a "write new parts as you go" approach.I don't think tha...
