3. YES, IT’S *THAT* BERT JANSCH.

People have been asking us, Is the Bert Jansch that’s playing Thursday, October 19 at Arthur Nights, THEE Bert Jansch? The English guitarist that Neil Young and Jimmy Page got all gassed over? Yes the same. The 63-year-old guitarist, best known for his work in folk-rock band Pentangle in the late ’60s and early ’70s, can reportedly still wowie zowie, and we’ve cleverly booked his only USA gig this go-round for the same night as Espers and Devendra Banhart, who feature on Jansch’s forthcoming comeback album.

About Jay Babcock

I am an independent writer and editor based in Tucson, Arizona. I publish LANDLINE at jaybabcock.substack.com Previously: I co-founded and edited Arthur Magazine (2002-2008, 2012-13) and curated the three Arthur music festival events (Arthurfest, ArthurBall, and Arthur Nights) (2005-6). Prior to that I was a district office staffer for Congressman Henry A. Waxman, a DJ at Silver Lake pirate radio station KBLT, a copy editor at Larry Flynt Publications, an editor at Mean magazine, and a freelance journalist contributing work to LAWeekly, Mojo, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, Vibe, Rap Pages, Grand Royal and many other print and online outlets. An extended piece I wrote on Fela Kuti was selected for the Da Capo Best Music Writing 2000 anthology. In 2006, I was somehow listed in the Music section of Los Angeles Magazine's annual "Power" issue. In 2007-8, I produced a blog called "Nature Trumps," about the L.A. River. From 2010 to 2021, I lived in rural wilderness in Joshua Tree, Ca.
