About Me

Myspace Contact Tables


Hailed as a breath of fresh air in the folk genre by Lonesome Music's Americana/Folk blog, New England native Jake Roche reminds listeners of the folk and experimental rock traditions of the 1960's transported by new influences and production to be completely contemporary and relevant in our time. His command of lyrical poeticism, vocal harmony, and instrumental arranging ensure his place among the upper echelon of singer/songwriters. His distinct voice is at once artful and slightly dissonant while passionate and painfully vulnerable.
