With deep roots in blues, ragtime, Celtic, and world music, JAKE STANZER brings his passion for music and fingerstyle guitar to audiences throughout southeastern Wisconsin and beyond. Whether you find him serenading a wine tasting, or rocking the stage with his emotive, blues-tinged licks, Jake is sure to satisfy your musical soul. Beyond work as a solo artist, Jake is heavily involved in various other musical endeavors including bands Whiskey and the Devil, J.R. & the Strangers, Mon J Rane, and Red's Hot Chili Peppers. He has experience playing countless venues including Turner Hall, Cactus Club, Bourbon Street Blues and Boogie Bar (Nashville), and Summerfest. Jake doesn't like to give away many personal details to the whole world, but says "Everything you need to know is in the music. 'It's down there somewhere, let me have another look.' But If you do want to know anything else, let's get a drink and hang. I like Zeppelin"
