folk, blues, soul, and funk.  Performed on acoustic and electric guitar with integrated looping and occasionally blended with a drum-machine fueled electronica, Jake has something to perk the ears and touch the hearts of people from all generations.  His extensive catalogue of original music is purposeful, often satirical, and soul-hungry. Jake offers listeners an enlightened perspective on concepts dealing with the human condition and its relevance to our current societal context.  Among these are age-old themes of love, loneliness, ecstatic disposition, and good ol’ fashioned existential crisis.
