about

My second full length album, this time with the added rhythm section including Leo Smith on Bass and Brian Hoeflich on Drums.

Awarded Best Self Produced CD in 2015 by the Northeast Ohio Blues Association.

“Embracing individuality, Chris Yakopcic has more in mind than singing and fingerpicking guitar in emulation of past bluesmen…the Ohioan leans into classics by Robert Johnson and Fred McDowell with the pleasure of discovery, finding his own expressive qualities to share with listeners.”-Downbeat Magazine, March, 2016

"This is an absolutely stunning surprise, packed with great material, picking and music of the highest order. Chris Yakopcic is a clearly talented acoustic/resonator guitar picker with a complete mastery over the instrument and the acoustic blues/roots US tradition." -Iain Patience: Elmore Magazine

"Even with Chris Yakopcic on the cover with a beautiful Resonator guitar I did not for one moment expect to hear truly wondrous Piedmont, Delta, Hill Country and Appalachian Blues of this caliber."-Peter Merrett: PBS 106.7, Melbourne, Australia

Fans of acoustic blues, roots music, and finely picked guitars will find plenty to like with Chris Yakopcic’s The Next Place I Leave. It is 40 minutes of well written and well played music that really clicks. -Rex Bartholomew: Blues Blast Magazine, April, 2016
