About Me

I am a musician who plays truly for the enjoyment of playing and writing songs. I played in a band called K Hoss and Special Sauce for nearly a year. Currently I am playing solo acoustic music. You can catch me at the occasional gig and weekly open mics.
The good news is I'm finally writing songs again, its been nearly a year. Its funny how you can lose inspiration so quickly and then somehow gain it back. The songs I write and have written all reflect on my own personal experiences and feelings.
I'm always looking to support and network with other musicians, especially in the Columbus, OH community. I feel its important that musicians support their own, as playing out public can be a daunting task at times. I have the utmost respect for anyone who creates music that truly means something. If you're on my page and reading this please accept my gratitude and appreciation for taking time to listen.
K Hoss and Special Sauce (my previous band)
Jake Hossfeld - lead electric guitar
