Jacob has written original material since the age of 12, and at the age of 21, he got his first acoustic guitar and attempted to make a living at what he was most passionate about, Music.
He's had Musical Homes all over the country, from Northern California to Colorado, or Southern Appalachia States & of course where it all began in his home State of Wisconsin.

Since he's been living in Vermont, he's collaborated with multiple musicians from all over the area. His Vermont based bands are :
