Biography
Born and raised on the south shore of Long Island, Jacob grew up enveloped by the music heard in his family’s house. Both his mom and dad played guitar and passed along a love and appreciation for all kinds of music.
As a present for his ninth birthday, he received his first guitar from his grandparents, a Hohner acoustic; though it wasn’t until a few years later that he would wipe the dust off and practice seriously. It was around this time that his father took him to his first concert, Richard Thompson. The connection and the rapport Thompson had with his audience excited him and sparked a new desire to perform.
