BEHIND THE ALBUM
PI JACOBS ~ "SOLDIER ON"

DittyTV Concert Series alum Pi Jacobs will release her new album “Soldier On”, THIS FRIDAY, April 26th via @blackbirdrecs ! 

One thread throughout Pi's career has been her appreciation for good grooves, and she honors that longtime love with "Soldier On". It's a joyous blast of blues, soul, and string-band stomp that shines brighter on Pi's bluesy interpretation of American roots music. The album captures a longtime songwriter at the peak of her powers, delivering stories of resilience and endurance. At the same time, a hotshot band kicks up plenty of dust behind her. 

Co-produced with two-time Grammy nominee Eric Corne, "Soldier On" finds Pi looking inward, balancing some of her most personal songwriting to date with full-band performances that were tracked primarily live. The result is the best of both worlds: a rawly autobiographical album punctuated by groove and grit, caught halfway between the intimacy of Pi's writing and the collaborative chemistry of her stripped-down band. 

From electrified rock & roll to rootsy Americana, Pi Jacobs has chased her unique muse throughout ten albums, gluing her catalog with bluesy, unforced vocals and sharply-observed songwriting. 

Pi Jacobs is a lifer. Born in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district, she's spent two decades onstage and on the road, creating a rhythmic, rootsy sound that's every bit as diverse as her own upbringing. Throughout the 21st century, she has straddled the dividing line between genres, creating her own Americana sound along the way. 

She's an artist in perpetual motion, evolving her music with each album, chasing her muse into unexplored territory and creating a soundtrack for the ongoing journey. With "Soldier On" she continues the exploration.

Pi stopped by to tell you more about "Soldier On" with some very special insight from the guys that helped make it all happen!
