I had a hard week and I really needed a break. I was just here at the House Of Tawet on Broadway in Green Bay, WI listening to Jacob Green, Otherwise known as the One Man Green Band. He did a few mellow and uplifting originals and then played the 1990s popular hit “Shine” by collective soul. I was sitting kind of far away in the back corner on the couch because it was comfy, but if you look closely you can see him in the corner.
I also have a bit of a clip for you:
Jacob Green at House Of Tawet
Green played some beautiful harmonies on the guitar, bango, harmonica, dobro and more . Even plays more than one instrument at once while singing.
More About Jacob Green
He sings originals such as “The March,” “Hope Aint Outta Love,” “Traveling Soul,” and “Haters Beware.” His musical tastes range from very mellow, all the way up to blues and folk, and to the grungy alternative style.
He also mixes a little bit of punk rock in there. Whether it be a large auditorium, a neighbor's back yard, or small cafe, he could probably please any crowd as he pull out the most appropriate songs to play for the occasion.
He mixes all kinds of musical tastes right into one to create a sound most would call quite unique. His musical influences include Xavier Rudd, John Lennon, Steve Earle and Townes Van Zandt -- among countless others performers.

Back to the Concert, and (Almost) Time To Say Goodnight
I didn't even record you the good stuff. You had to have been there to hear it!
"Just a couple more..." Jacob Green says. By this time, it's 9:17. He was supposed to stop playing at nine. At about 9:20 he sang...."Tell me where that green grass grows..." If I knew the title, I'd tell you, but it may not be hard to find online.
I thought he would conclude with that one, but then a minute later he was at it again. Suddenly he's "hopping on a train...," singing about going to California, and playing at what seems to be at the speed of light in the moment it happened. I wondered, how can anyone play acoustical guitar that fast.
Then...
It was official, "Thanks Guys!" Green Said. "Have a good night!" After that, we all said our goodbyes and took the memory of this night with us.
