Will Jacobs may be a lot younger than most Chicago blues musicians, having recently turned 18 years old, but that isn’t stopping this guitarist, singer & songwriter from his passionate musical pursuits.

     Will and his band, "Dirty Deal" have attracted both local and international attention. Based out of Chicago, they represent an uncommon range and depth of musicianship for such a young group. But drive and dedication is evident in this powerhouse group whose music is a blend of blues/rock/r&b classics and original tunes that run the gamut from fast & fiery instrumentals to intensely sensitive ballads. 

     Winners of the 2009 Chicago Blues Challenge (Youth Division) and currently competing in the adult band division of the 2011 Chicago Blues Challenge, they’re becoming known because of Will’s soulful, vocal chops and guitar improvisational talents coupled with the band’s rockin’, blues-infused sound and exhilarating stage performance.

     Experienced as an opening act (recently opened for international sensations Billy Branch, Eddy Clearwater and Tommy Castro) or as a headline performer, they deliver a one-of-a-kind experience!

     A regular performer in Chicago's music scene since he was 14 years old, Will recently entered his freshman year at Berklee College of Music in Boston.  There he'll continue to write and record, study guitar, bass, Hammond B-3, contemporary songwriting and performance.
