About Me

so yeah i’ve been in austin for a while... dig it. i play guitar like everyone else here does, sing, write, produce, and make a couple of mean chicken dishes. i am extremely lucky to play live, record, tour, etc. with some really great artists and bands right now including sahara smith, goldspot, charanga cakewalk, and amy cook, and a few others. not to be rude or anything, but if you look at my page and STILL assume i’m the commercial country artist who happens to share my name (though he was born Joshua, i hear...) don’t expect me to add you. may limitless love, wisdom, and large sums of money come to all who visit my page- jacob michael
