Best part of 2020 was discovering Jake and his music. This dude got me through some hard days.
I absolutely love that assured guitar style he has. He's the best 'discovery' I've made in a good while.
appreciate your work mr Jake Fussell
Thousands have come before him with the same style, genre and repertoire . . . and yet he makes it his own and its unique. Love it.
Fits perfectly on the waters of the San Juan river 🎣
One of my all time favourite artists... For sure
SO GOOD!
Saw him open for Wilco at the Beacon Theater in NYC. Totally blew me away.
Saw him open for Magnetic Fields last night. He sucked the air out of the room. He is a master of drama and restraint. Had to pick my jaw of the floor
Such an unadulterated banger.
He can build me a "snow fence" anytime.
💚👍😉😎🎸
Who wrote this song originally please? Or is it a traditional arr. or an original of Jake's? Either way, it's beautiful...
