17-Year-Old Blues Phenom Meets Electrifying Blues-Rock — Two Generations. One Afternoon of Great Blues.

Join us at High Beam Dreams for a special afternoon celebrating the power, passion and enduring spirit of the blues, featuring two exciting acts from different generations: the remarkable young talent of the Jake Soberlak Trio and the seasoned Vancouver blues-rock band Terminal Station.

At just 17 years old, Jake Soberlak, from Kamloops, BC, is already demonstrating a deep understanding of the blues and a musical maturity well beyond his years. A guitarist, singer and harmonica player, Jake first picked up the guitar at 13 and the harmonica at 14. His introduction to the blues came through his grandfather’s old record collection, where he discovered the music of legends such as B.B. King, Peter Green and Eric Clapton. Those early influences sparked a passion that has grown into a distinctive musical voice of his own. Jake’s playing combines a genuine appreciation for traditional blues with the energy and curiosity of a young musician finding his own way. In 2026, he released his debut single, “You Gotta Leave,” followed by his debut album, I’m In Trouble. His music also draws inspiration from the raw, expressive sound of harmonica blues, including the work of Papa Lightfoot. Seeing Jake perform is an opportunity to experience an emerging blues artist at the beginning of what promises to be an exciting musical journey.

Sharing the stage are Terminal Station, a Vancouver-based blues-rock band whose members have spent more than two decades immersed in the city’s blues and roots music scene. The band features Scott Smith on vocals and guitar, Jeremy Holmes on bass, Darryl Havers on keyboards and Liam MacDonald on drums. Individually, the musicians have performed and toured as sidemen with an impressive roster of Canadian and international artists, including Barney Bentall, Steve Dawson, Rich Hope, Ridley Bent, Buckman Coe, Jim Byrnes, John Hammond, Alvin Youngblood Hart, David Hidalgo, Bo Diddley and Doug Sahm. Together, they have played hundreds of shows and built a reputation for delivering powerful, engaging live performances. Terminal Station’s sound is rooted in the blues but refuses to stay within its boundaries.

Two generations of musicians. Two distinctive approaches. One afternoon devoted to great live blues.
