As a dynamic blues performer, Garrett “Big G” Jacobson has been satisfying audiences for more than 20 years. He got his professional start at the age of twelve as a guitarist with Oklahoma bluesman D.C. Minner. Within two years Garrett had formed his own band, recorded his first album, and begun performing at numerous clubs and festivals throughout Oklahoma. Since 1998, he has released five albums and performed continuously throughout Oklahoma and surrounding areas. His recordings have received critical praise in national and regional publications such as Living Blues, Blues Revue, Blues Blast, and Southwest Blues. Garrett and his band have performed at notable venues across the country such as Buddy Guy's Legends, The Chicago Blues Festival, The Grand Emporium, and B.B. King's Blues Club. He has also performed with blues greats such as Jimmy Johnson, Carl Weathersby, and Smokey Wilson. With his distinct guitar style and soulful vocals, Garrett Jacobson delivers a soul-satisfying performance not to be forgotten.
Garrett Jacobson started in music as a pianist at the age of seven. He began studying classical music while simultaneously pursuing his love of the blues. During his teenage years, in the midst of recording and performing constantly as a blues guitarist and vocalist, he developed a passion for jazz and was involved in the University of Central Oklahoma's jazz program as a pianist throughout high school and college. After acquiring his first Hammond organ when he was 18 years old, he honed his skills playing clubs with the city's best jazz musicians. As a jazz organist, Garrett performs regularly at venues in the Oklahoma City metro area. With his latest CD release on the Hammond organ, In The Moment, Garrett and his trio offer up a set of tasteful originals and standards. With songs such as the hard-swinging title track "In The Moment" and the greasy "Skillet Gravy", Garrett's solid bassline feel and lyrical phrasing creates plenty of memorable tracks.
