NewBo Music Festival Artist Profile: Young The Giant Guitarists Jacob and Eric [VIDEO]

Young The Giant guitarists Jacob Tilley and Eric Cannata need to "leave space" when recording the new record. The third disc from the California-based band is being produced in stages this summer. No release date has been set. But an important Iowa date for YTG fans is set for this Saturday.

The twin axe jams produced by Tilley and Cannata will be a great highlight for me. I thiink these guys have fantastic tone and are sure to light up the NewBo Music Festival stage. Gates open at Noon as six bands warm up the space for Young The Giant at NewBo City Market.

Here are the guys trying out a custom guitar

The strumming duo will be joined by their brothers Sameer Gadhia [lead singer], Payam Doostzadeh [bass] and Francois Comtois [drums].

Here's Sameer talking with Shark about the sessions this summer as they prepare for the new record, and his visit to Cedar Rapids this Saturday.
