About Me

Atlanta-Based jazz guitarist Jacob Deaton will be launching his sophomore CD Release entitled “My Home” during a two night concert stand at Churchill Grounds Jazz Café, October 18 & 19, 2013. Deaton has been one of Atlanta’s busiest musicians having recently been featured as a Headliner during the 2013 Atlanta Jazz Festival. The new CD features original compositions as performed by Jacob’s band Tribulation from his acclaimed self-entitled debut CD “Tribulation”. The CD was inspired by Jacob’s thoughts of his native home of Indiana and describes the music as simple acoustic songs with jazz musicians stretching it into something different.

Jacob Deaton and his quartet will be celebrating & performing music from his new CD at Churchill Grounds Jazz Cafe on Friday, October 18, 2011 at 9:00pm & 11:00pm shows and on Saturday, October 19, 2011 at 9:00pm & 11:00pm shows. Churchill Grounds Jazz Cafe is located at 660 Peachtree Street, Atlanta, GA 30308. Tickets will be $15 at the door. “My Home” marks Jacob’s fourth CD overall and his second as a band leader. Jacob teams up with The Tribulation Band members Akeem Marable on Alto Saxophone, Nick Rosen on Piano, Craig Shaw on Bass and Justin Chesarek on Drums. “This record is really a defining statement in my career I think” says Jacob, “I feel like I’ve really zeroed in on what the band’s sound is.”

“My Home” represents Jacob’s feelings of growing up in his home state of Indiana. “This record was a reflection of where I’ve come from and where I am now. Originally I grew up on acoustic based music and now I’m a jazz musician. This record was meant to merge the two into one cohesive musical expression” says Jacob. The fact that this CD is so close to home allowed Jacob to complete the project in record time with the vast majority of the recording done in one day.

This record was really open to each one of the player’s interpretations so long as they respected the song. It’s something everyone can latch on to and enjoy.
