Former Bridge frontman Cris Jacobs will release his solo debut, Songs for Cats and Dogs, in June. Featuring nine newly penned Jacobs originals, the album showcases his stellar new band consisting of Bridge bandmate Mike Gambone on drums, Jake Leckie on upright bass, Dave Hadley on pedal steel guitar, and Ed Hough on vocals, percussion, and guitar.

Jacobs and company will celebrate the release with a “CD Release Residency,” taking place every Thursday night in June at 8×10 Club in Baltimore, MD. The group will also be performing at this year’s All Good Festival at Legend Valley in Thornville, OH, and Hot August Blues Festival in Cockeysville, MD.
