With apologies to Arthur Miller, who wrote the one-act play A View from the Bridge and first produced on Broadway in 1955 about corruption on the Brooklyn docks, Jambands.com offers its own view from The Bridge lead guitarist and vocalist, Cris Jacobs.
Signed to Hyena Records in 2007 with a self-titled release that mixes bluegrass, rock, country, funk, soul and good ole jam into a unique blend, The Bridge finds itself on and off the road after five-plus years and ready to hit The Bunker Recording Studio in Cockeysville, Maryland to record their follow-up album in March.
As Jacobs will explain in this feature, The Bridge is focusing on the art of songwriting after years of blending various influences into their own brand of live improvisational magic. And to be sure, the band has quite a loyal following, especially in their hometown Baltimore area. With that in mind, Jacobs is determined to push the band to the next level. “I feel like the focus of the band is a band that writes good tunes and still improvises in a live setting. I’m starting to realize that first things first—let’s write some good songs.”
The Bridge has released their 3rd album and their best work to date.
