Singer/songwriter Jake La Botz plays roots-drenched music that reflects his time performing in streets, bars, churches, and even tattoo parlors. You can also hear the various places La Botz has lived in his music - including his time in New Orleans, the Mississippi Delta, and his native Chicago where, as a young man, he found kinship with some of the last of the prewar era blues-men: Honeyboy Edwards, "Homesick" James, and "Maxwell Street" Jimmy Davis. In 2017 and 2019 Jake released his studio albums Sunnyside and They're Coming for Me on Hi-Style Records to critical acclaim. Produced by Jimmy Sutton, both albums won Independent Music Awards. Jake has toured extensively in the U.S. and Europe and has shared the stage with Ray Charles, Etta James, Dr. John, Mavis Staples, JD McPherson,Tony Joe White, and a host of other greats. He's also an actor... "Acting's what I wanted to do as a kid, so I bought a second-hand suit and volunteered as an usher to see live theatre for free," La Botz recalls. "I wanted to be near the action, and the magic, the mythology and the storytelling, that creativity. Later in life I crashed a movie premiere (which is something everyone in LA ought to do at some point), and there I met Steve Buscemi; I invited him to a gig, and he actually came out! Such a cool guy." Buscemi began to frequent La Botz' shows, and the two struck up a friendship; before long, Buscemi was set to direct the film Animal Factory (2000), and wrote in a role for La Botz. From there, La Botz went on to act in a number of other films including Rambo (2008), On the Road (2012), and The Grace of Jake (2015). He also starred in the stage musical Ghost Brothers of Darkland County written by Stephen King and John Mellencamp. His songs have been in numerous TV shows as well. "Jake LaBotz turns paranoia into a haunting, Tom Waits-worthy piece of cabaret Americana with "They're Coming for Me," the title track from his newest solo effort. He delivers his lyrics like a method actor, imbuing each line with a mix of theatricality and wild, wide-eyed believe- ability." -Rolling Stone "...this idiosyncratic songwriter can handle types of heavy lifting that many others frankly can't."" -No Depression "From the first time I heard him playing guitar and singing his songs in a smoky bar on La Brea and Sunset, I became a devoted fan of Jake La Botz." -Steve Buscemi.
