Growing up in Independence, Oregon, Jacob was inspired by the legendary acts of West Coast country music. He brings back a 90's honky tonk sound with a touch of traditional flavor. Influenced by icons such as Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, and Dwight Yoakam, he strives to bring high-energy country music hearken to the days of the jumping dance halls of Texas and rowdy honky tonks of Bakersfield.
