Description

Jacob Bain has traveled to SE Asia, Cuba, and Africa. And though he sometimes has climbing gear, he always has a guitar. In the summer of 2010, Johnny Fernandes invited Jacob and his band Publish the Quest to Cape Verde to partake in a musical experience as part of his goal to preserve the local music. Can a hook, a horn line and a new take on a traditional song overcome culture and language barriers?

He was able to get a Harvard Fellowship which allowed him to live in Mexico for a year immersing himself in the music through attending fandangos and learning from locals.

The pair lived in the Boston area until about 2015, where they moved to Suz's hometown of Charlottesville, VA. They've toured like crazy throughout their career, even bringing their kids along and incorporating them into their on-the-road lifestyle.
