The Lonesome Organist, William Z. Villain

×

Expand

The Lonesome Organist is the appropriately named one-man-show of multi-instrumentalist and Madison transplant Jeremy Jacobsen, also of Chicago funk jam-band 5ive Style. Once handpicked to play a show curated by David Bowie, Jacobsen is known for playing several instruments all at once, including accordion, steel drums, cymbals and synths. And he does all this by the way, while also harnessing his own operatic voice. His tunes mix genres as disparate as Appalachian blues and classic garage rock, and many of his songs seamlessly jump from punky jams to folk classics. Experimental Latin folk guitarist William Z. Villain opens.
