Jules Leyhe & The Family Jules with guitar phenom Saxon Weiss

Jules Leyhe might look like your everyday, average, unassuming guy, but he’s one of the world’s foremost blues slide-guitar players—so much so that even Premier Guitar magazine called his music “the best blues slide licks since Derek Trucks, maybe even Duane Allman.” Those might sound like some big boots, but this Oakland native not only fills them, he wears them out and has to order new ones. Jules is showcasing a monthly blues series at the Sound Room, where Leyhe and his Family Jules are joined by stellar blues players each month. This month, they’re joined by musical prodigy Saxon Weiss!

This 13 year old guitar phenom has been compared to a young Joe Bonamassa. Catch this video of Saxon playing with Bonamasa at Norman’s Rare Guitars:
