![]() Pi Jacobs (from the album Two Truths and a Lie available on Travianna Records) Who is Pi Jacobs? The West Coast native can be found stuck somewhere between the lines of Two Truths and a Lie, her latest release. As the album title suggests, separating the musician from her characters is an interactive game, made for rainy days or road trips. Hopping on board a train track rhythm “No Poor to be Sin” takes its place in the welfare line as Pi Jacobs makes a U-turn to catch a blacktop exit with “Rearview”, sings of an over-worked mom making a request for “A Little Mercy”, and proudly wears multiple skins for “Party Girl”. Pi Jacobs steps in and out of the tales collected on Two Truths and a Lie, sliding seamlessly into an apron to work out “Waitress Blues”, picking up the pace as “Diana the Hunter” matches heartbeat to the blood-rush rhythms of Juarez streets, and toasts a million job descriptions with “Broken Cup”. Born in San Francisco, Pi Jacobs moved to a Northern California commune with her parents, working the Humboldt grow fields as high school summer employment. Two Truths and a Lie is album number eight for Pi Jacobs, the soundtracks shifting between electric and acoustic. While she peeks from behind the characters in her songs, Pi Jacobs makes a personal commitment to make her vote count in “First Thing Tomorrow” and sways on a Country shuffle to introduce “Adelaide Montgomery” as Two Truths and a Lie deals a Country Blues seduction with album closer “Slow on Down”.
