Jake Simmons

About Me

This is my band. ADD US, PLEASE!

Taken from rainsoakedrecords.com

Jake Simmons, simply put, can play guitar like a maniac…
and occasionally looks like one. Singer/Songwriter and lead
guitar-man of South Haven outfit, The Implodes, Jake is a
human rock machine. Whether it be with his fierce foursome
or just him and an acoustic guitar, Jake is pure energy bottle
into a relatively small frame. Notorious for his rambunctious
(and often times chaotic) stage show with his band, early in
2007 Jake started filling his off nights with acoustic gigs and
the results wound up causing a ridiculously high demand for
Simmons to start taking double-duty.
