Jul 29 Sam Bond’s Garage - Eugene, Oregon
Jul 30 The Space - Salem, Oregon
Jul 31 Slim’s Last Chance - Seattle, Washington
Aug 1 Red Room - Portland, Oregon


This tour has been a long time in the making, so we really hope to see you at one of the shows if you can make it. Any help promoting is greatly appreciated too. Let me know if you wouldn't mind handing out flyers, CD's, etc. and I'll get a package sent to you in the mail. I'll get you a bunch of free swag for the show too...we're ordering new T-shirts and stickers before we hit the road. Also, if anyone could offer up a place to stay, we would be forever in your debt...floor space is all we really need. And although we might look a bit haggard, we are, for the most part, pretty much housebroken. Thanks everyone for the help, we're looking forward to playing some shows for you. -Tyler P.S. The rest of the California dates for the tour will be posted shortly.

Last week's show opening for Th' Legendary Shack Shakers at Red Devil Lounge was a blast. Big thanks to Sister Kate for joining us on stage...you girls were awesome!!! Can't wait to do it again. And the guys in the Shack Shakers tore it up as usual, go see them live if you haven't...you won't be disappointed. They're on tour now. Here's a clip of "One Last Kiss", a new song we opened the set with...and then "Bohemia" with Sister Kate. We'll see you all at the next show! -Tyler

I recorded a new song, “Why Can’t I Just Get Along?”, but it doesn't really fit on the new album that I'm working on, so I'm putting it out as an MP3 single. It's streaming on the player at the bottom of the site (just click to play) and if you want to, you can download the MP3 here at tylerjakes.com. Hope you dig it!

Thought you guys might like to catch this song in it's infancy. I'm not sure of a title yet...I've got a couple verses and a chorus, I'm just figuring out how to play it now. Matt shot the video and Austin Powers provided the sunglasses. Groovy baby.

For anyone who knows me, they know I'm always hyping up Gogol Bordello. As far as I'm concerned, they are the best live band out there today. If you who haven't seen Gogol Bordello live before, definitely go check them out if you get the chance. You won't be disappointed.

I ventured into new territory recently and recorded a theme song for the poker based website Life’s A Bluff dot com. The song is called "Highway Robbery" and it will play at the beginning and end of their interview segments. Here is the first segment where it can be heard:
