ELLNORA Interval: Jake Hertzog Trio with Harvie S and Victor Jones

Saturday, September 12, 2009, at 1pm | Stage 5

ELLNORA | The Guitar Festival | “Wow! factor.”
—Boston Globe

Homegrown right here in Champaign, Jake Hertzog has influences that pivot from Mike Stern and Wayne Krantz to Ted Greene and Lenny Breau, but his own voice has broken out clearly and strongly. This is a star on a rapid ascent. Soaring toward the lofty heights of the international jazz scene, he won the Montreux Jazz Guitar Competition’s grand prize a year before he graduated from the Berklee School of Music.

He’s jammed with locals Chip McNeill and Rocky Maffit, and Hertzog’s knack for original tunes led to appearances with The Naked Brothers Band on Good Morning America and NBC’s Today show. He’s “sure to blow your ears wide open” (Midwest Records), so don’t miss your chance to show your love to one of our most gifted native sons!
