Biography
Bill Jolliff, an English professor, songwriter, poet, Quaker peace activist, and gospel bluegrass performer, has written close to 40 songs and produced seven recordings.
Jolliff plays with his 16-year-old mandolin-playing son, Jacob Henry. Jacob Henry has earned guest appearances with Ricky Skaggs, Chris Thile, Leah Larson, and acoustic music legends The David Grisman Quintet. Though Jake’s tastes and compositions run along the progressive lines of Dawg music and Nickel Creek, he performs primaraly with his father in this very traditional bluegrass gospel group. In reviewing their CD release, Good Neighbors, Bluegrass Unlimited has had this to say: "Although in his early teens, Jacob Henry displays an incredible level of skill on both mandolin and tenor vocals."
