Two Jakes do Tom Waits

Tom Waits aficionado Jake Endres returns to Crooners with another inebriational travelogue of songs from our beloved Musical Poet Laureate. This time, he’s joined by the guitar & bass wizardry of Jake Jackson for an intimate yet worlds-spanning set, perfect for the Dunsmore Room. From heart-melting ballads, through booze-soaked blues, to the delightfully bizarre, this retrospective spans Waits’ whole career with songs that reach home with everyone.

Jake Jackson: Guitars, Bass, Vocals

Jake Endres splits his time between the music world (everything from opera with the Minnesota Orchestra to Waits performed all over at the drop of a porkpie hat) and the theater world (acting, music directing, and composing for over three dozen regional companies).

Jake Jackson has spent the last 15 years touring the country with the Johnny Holm Band, writing music both for his own projects and for commercial work, and working in the pit for musical theater, including two runs of The Who’s Tommy (one on lead guitar and one on bass).
