- Big stuff has been happening. "Jake Green & The Usual Suspects" is no more. We all parted as friends, but as time had progressed people were drawn to other projects, and it seemed like a good time for a change. So I'm thrilled to announce the new "Jake Green Band" featuring a whole new lineup of new and old friends. Read more in the Bio section.

12/04 2010

- Updated the calendar and picture sections a bit, and added a new section called Press Kit which contains high resolution pictures, a couple of posters and a press statement.

27/09 2009

- Lots of things has happened lately and it was time for a major update. Jake Green & the Usual suspects recorded a 3 song demo which can be found on the player in the Music section - along with downloads of the same demo. I also updated the music section with a video recorded by the incredibly talented amateur videografer Thorkild and his crew at the Aalborg blues festival. The calendar also got an update, but really the calendar on Myspace is the one to look at if you want to stay updated on gigs featuring Jake Green.

27/05 2009

- Uploaded a couple of new live recordings in the Music section from our gig hosting the thursday night jam at Mojo Blues Bar.

17/03 2009

- Returned from an awesome trip to Thailand recently. Haven't got many pictures from gigs I did down there yet, but I hope they will come. More can be seen at the Myspace website. Thanks to everyone in Bangkok, Phuket and Pattaya for taking time to jam and hang out, and generally make it another great trip. The Phuket blues festival was great and I can recommend anyone to drop in on it next year if you have the opportunity.

14/09 2008

- Posted a press kit in the pictures section. It includes 2 posters and 2 high resolution pictures, because shameless selfpromotion and helping ease the jobs of bookers can't be a bad thing, right?

09/08 2008

- Jakegreen.dk is up and running. Yeah, I know... Its about time.

24/05 2008

- Jake Green and The Usual Suspects went to Spain to play a gig at the rock bar Climax in the city of Banyoles. We were very well recieved and owe especially Mr Ed of Ella Electrica a big thanks for setting up everything and providing gear. We had a great time and hope to come back soon.

01/02 2008

- Just returned from my second trip to Bangkok, Thailand where I had the pleasure of playing with among others Soi Dog blues band as special guest, and was invited to fill in as guitarist for Doctor Blues of Billy The Mountain. 2008 is looking to be a great year, and I return full of energy and good memories. Thanks guys for making me feel right at home.

Jake Green is a young, hardworking blues guitarist and singer out of Copenhagen, Denmark.

For the past years he's been building his repertoire and reputation as one of the most powerful blues acts in town. Far from a purist, he's not afraid to mix the genres while still keeping a respectful approach to the blues. "Its all about what sounds and feels good" he says, "not about what labels you stick on it".

He continues to serve as a frontman in his band "Jake Green Band". Jake has been playing many different venues including Copenhagen Jazzfestival, "Den blå festival" in Aalborg, Copenhagen bluesfestival, and guesting the Phuket blues and rock festival in Thailand in 2009.

For several years he's also been one of the regular hosts at the "Thursday night blues jam" at the legendary Mojo Blues Bar in Copenhagen.

With his rock solid backing crew, he continues to play and sing a rich blend of his own original songs as well as spiced up interpretations of classic standards and covers, delivering rugged and funky blues rock with a edgy, yet soulful feel.
