About

I am passionate about playing music and I try to let that come through in every aspect of my performance. Whether it is custom tailoring my song choices to your wishes or helping you determine the best size ensemble (solo, duo, etc.) for your event, it is my wish to not just meet, but exceed your expectations.

· I have over 20 years of experience as a full-time professional musician. In that time I have performed thousands of shows: concerts, festivals, club dates as well as hundreds of weddings (receptions, cocktail hours and ceremonies), corporate events, gala fundraisers, and private parties..

· I have a repertoire of over 600 songs, from current to classic rock, pop, country, motown, soul, reggae, and beyond. If I don't know a song that you want, I will learn it.

· It is my priority to match the right ensemble to your specific event. I offer these options:

1. Solo Acoustic: Voice and Guitar – Perfect for smaller gatherings or cocktail and dinner receptions.

2. Duo – The addition of a second musician fills out the sound more, and will bring more energy to your event without being overbearing.

3. Full Band – Whether a trio or a seven piece band with horns, this is the route to go if you want a rockin' dance floor. My band, Underwater People (listed separately on this site) knows what it takes to put people on the dance floor and keep them there.

Please call me so we can discuss the best possible options for your event. Thanks for your consideration and I look forward to talking with you soon!

Jacob was such a such a special part of our wedding day, he created the perfect ambiance with his amazing voice. He was very professional, flexible and accommodating in every way! I kept getting distracted while in conversation with people because I couldn't stop listening to him sing! Everyone at the wedding was ranting and raving about you Jacob. You truly are talented. I left the playlist of songs up to Jacob to chose for the entire day and he nailed it, with his experience and repertoire i knew he would. Thank you so much and we will absolutely recommend you to anyone when in need.

Jacob was amazing. We hired him to do five songs for our commitment ceremony; we live in Switzerland but had the ceremony in Chicago so coordination could have been a challenge. He made it easy for us and had calls around time zones, was very open and asked questions about the styling of the music to fit the theme of the event. His appearance was excellent, he brought a stand up Bass player who was also very presentable, and he smiled a lot. And the best part is that he is very talented - as a singer, arranger and musician. Anyone looking for a smiling, kind, presentable, talented singer and acoustic guitarist would not be disappointed! Thank you, Jacob!

Jacob was amazing. He performed during our cocktail hour and I didn't want it to end, my favorite part of our day. He played all the songs I requested and actually learned a new one. We completely surprised my husband. I never saw him so happy as I did in that moment. Our friends and family cannot stop talking about Jacob and our rooftop cocktail hour. We will definitely use him again. We highly recommend. It was a pleasure to work with him.
