Will Jacobs & Marcos Coll is an international blues and soul project born from the meeting of two musicians with established careers and an immediate musical connection. Since meeting in Berlin eight years ago, they have been playing together nonstop, developing their own sound that combines blues tradition with contemporary energy and an irresistible stage presence.
Will Jacobs
A native of Chicago, Will Jacobs grew up in the heart of electric blues. Rooted in the traditions of his hometown, he absorbed the influence of South Side legends and soon began touring internationally. His guitar style is both elegant and powerful, with deep phrasing and a warm voice that connects with the essence of classic soul. Before settling in Europe, Jacobs had
already forged a solid reputation on the American scene, playing with bands such as C.J. Chenier, Carl Wheatersby, Charlie Love, and many more, becoming one of the most respected young guitarists of his generation in contemporary blues.
Marcos Coll
Marcos Coll, for his part, is one of the most renowned harmonica players on the European scene, being one half of the acclaimed duo Los Reyes del KO. Born in Madrid, he began playing at a very young age and quickly stood out for his technical mastery and stage presence. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with numerous international artists, including Mick Taylor and Buddy Miles, and has performed his harmonica at leading festivals and venues in Europe, America, Africa, and Asia. His sound combines the tradition of Chicago blues with a modern and explosive approach. He is one of the main faces of the Hohner brand.
Their meeting in Berlin marked the beginning of a collaboration that has now spanned eight uninterrupted years on stage. Since then, Will Jacobs & Marcos Coll have toured extensively and performed at festivals worldwide, solidifying their reputation as one of the most compelling and electrifying acts in contemporary blues. Seven years ago, they released their first joint album, Takin Our Time, a work that captured the freshness and authenticity of their musical partnership and opened doors to new international tours. In March 2026 they released their new album, One More Time, on Calaverita Records, recorded and mixed by Depedro. This new work reaffirms the duo’s artistic maturity and expands their sonic palette without losing the raw and direct essence that characterizes them.
With a combination of electric guitar, fiery harmonica, and a solid rhythm section comprised of one of Spain’s most renowned bassists, Javier Vacas (Los Coronas, Sex Museum, etc.), and the Afro-Berlin drummer Brian D. Sauls, Will Jacobs & Marcos Coll offer intense concerts, full of groove and emotion, where tradition and modernity coexist naturally. Eight years after that first meeting in Berlin, they continue to demonstrate that the blues, when played with honesty and passion, knows no borders.
