"Jacob's Pillow might just be the best kept secret in the Edinburgh folk scene." - Impact magazine


Jacob's Pillow are based in Edinburgh but already their path has taken them all over the Scottish highlands and to some of the biggest folk and rock music festivals and venues in the country, showcasing their unique blend of rock, folk, jazz and traditional styles. Their debut album 'Pathfinder' has received excellent reviews and has been selling consistently at gigs, gaining interest from listeners of all age groups and all genre audiences. Music listeners have praised it for its originality and new direction.

The band are in the process of making a documentary road movie and a live album, and are currently working on their second album, so the story will continue.
