Music of the Mountains: Where to be and what to see -- Dylan McCarthy of Jake Leg
Everyone in the Denver-made bluegrass band Jake Leg (guitarist and vocalist Eric Wiggs, mandolin player and vocalist Dylan McCarthy, and brothers Justin and Aaron Hoffenberg respectively on fiddle and bass) knew each other before forming the group. They played together in jams and occasionally in pickup gigs and other informal performances.
They started playing more structured performances as the tribute project All Wheel Drive, learning every song from the 1988 Béla Fleck instrumental album Drive. This project also featured Sam Armstrong-Zickefoose on banjo, Justin Konrad on dobro, and the original Jake Leg bass player Troy Robey. Jake Leg resulted from the group’s wishes to continue performing together, shifting the focus towards original, lyrical bluegrass music. The current lineup solidified recently, with Aaron Hoffenberg replacing Robey on bass in August 2023.
