Michael Daves & Jacob Jolliff in Ithaca

Winter Village Music is excited to present the high-energy bluegrass duo of Michael Daves and Jacob Jollif at the Community School of Music & Art's Martha Hamblin Hall (on CSMA's 3rd floor) to celebrate the release of their new recording, We Like Jim & Jesse!. The recording is a tribute to first-generation bluegrass legends Jim & Jesse and the Virginia Boys, Michael's debut album with mandolinist extraordinaire Jacob Jolliff, and the third release on Michael's new label, Wild Geranium Records. The duo is touring throughout the US and Europe during the spring and summer to share their music. We Like Jim & Jesse! is streaming everywhere, and CD/download is available on Bandcamp.

The concert is also the kickoff for Winter Village Music Camp's 2027 weekend registration, which begins on Father's and the first day of summer, June 21, 2026.

Naomi Sommers and Rick Manning will be opening the show with a short set.

Tickets for the show cost $25 in advance (that price included Eventbrite fees) and $30 at the door.

In addition, Michael and Jacob will also offer workshops from 3:00 to 5:00pm on Saturday afternoon before their evening show.  These will be held at CSMA.  Workshop topics and Eventbrite registration links will be announced in Winter Village Music’s May 1 enewsletter.
