Jules Leyhe

At just 24 years of age, Bay Area native Jules Leyhe is already an accomplished musician. Armed with a decade of guitar-playing experience – including a degree in Guitar Performance from the esteemed Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA – this up-and-coming blues guitarist has recently sold out San Francisco’s famed Biscuits and Blues. Leyhe picked up his first guitar when he was just 13-years-old, inspired by his father’s love of music. In the time since, he has developed a fondness for playing the blues and has become a veteran of the Bay Area music scene. Leyhe has played with roughly half a dozen bands, honing his skills at clubs like The Uptown in Oakland as well as larger venues such as The Great American Music Hall and Slim’s in San Francisco. A fan and student of the greats, Leyhe is influenced by familiar names like Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Chris Cain and Albert King and also draws inspiration from his former teachers, Norm Zocher, Julien Kasper and David Tronzo.
