Overview

Playing an upbeat selection of rootsy originals and covers, Pi has a strong versatile voice, and an approachable style. She is a skilled guitarist who loves a good family-friendly joke, and has a genuine fondness for her audiences. In the words of San Luis Obispo's NEW TIMES: "Jacobs' songs can be funny, poignant, irreverent, but always personal. Come enjoy her rootsy sound, powerful vocals, and charismatic stage swagger! She might not heal you, but you'll forget your problems for a few hours" - Glen Starkey, 2021.

Pi Jacobs opens many of our Off The Page shows

We chose Pi Jacobs to open our shows for her beautiful voice, excellent guitar chops, and stellar lyrics. In addition to her talents, she is the consummate professional: on time, sets up and breaks down equipment, sound checks, and wows the crowds. Our Readers Theater audiences love her performances, and so do we.

What to expect

Live, Pi’s style blends roots-rock swagger and storytelling soul, that has drawn comparisons to Tom Waits, Dolly Parton, and Lucinda Williams. Armed with an old Gibson guitar, her “sultry and explosive” (Glide) voice, and a homemade stomp box, she creates a show that is mesmerizing. In the words of San Luis Obispo’s New Times: “Jacobs' can be funny, poignant, and irreverent, but always personal. She might not heal you, but you'll forget your problems for a few hours”.
