A fixture of the national bluegrass community, he has shared the stage with Darol Anger, Sam Bush, Ronnie McCoury, Jerry Douglas, and David Grisman, to name a few. In 2014, he joined the progressive bluegrass giant, Yonder Mountain String Band. Jolliff’s new solo project, The Jacob Jolliff Band, is a next generation bluegrass supergroup.
