About Me

Twenty Two year old Jake Cogan from Lanarkshire, Scotland has been performing from a very early age, her songs and singing are wholeheartedly honest, at times raw and powerful at others witty and humorous- reflective of her character and West of Scotland upbringing. She is quietly becoming one of Folk Music's most exciting new voices. A servant of the traditions she keeps alive, she belongs to a rare breed of selfless performer-those who live to let tradition breath through them. In April 2008 she will release an EP entitled 'Honest Mirror' . The EP was produced by Boo Hewerdine and Mark Freegard. Since her first gig with her new band in May 2007, she has travelled all over Scotland with a growing reputation for being a truly entertaining and engaging live performer. She rounded up 2007 in roaring success with, staggeringly her sixty fifth gig on December 22nd to a sell out crowd at St. Brides Hall inher now hometown of Edinburgh...
