Thanks for supporting Local Music! Cya Out There!!

About Me

My music is feeling driven! Whether it be in the message of the song, or in the sound of a string's soulful bend, feeling is being poured out! Growing up, I was exposed to "live" music at an early age, and it's not hard to see how much that has influenced my constantly evolving style. I'm mostly influenced by soulful Artists and Bands that aren't afraid to improv. Such as: Jerry Garcia (GD), Ben Harper, John Bell (WSP), Neil Young, Eddie Vedder, Warren Haynes, Greg Allman, Todd Park Mohr (BHT), and The Dave Mathews Band! Having a true passion for live performance, I take great pride in my shows! I'm always incorporating new improvisation, transitions, and song selections to assure that no two shows are ever played the same! Currently, I just finished recording a brand new full length album in Nashville, TN. Though some of my music can be dark, as real life is sometimes, I always count on positivity to prevail!! I've never been more excited about this than now!! That's why this 2007 release entitled "Thank Your Friends" is dedicated to my friends, family, and The One Above! If I can give back to people, with my music, even a fraction of the joy that music has given me, than I'm doing my job well!!! See you out there,Jake Dean

Sounds Like:

Take.... The Grateful Dead, Pearl Jam, Widespread Panic, Ben Harper, Neil Young, Dave Mathews Band, G. Love, Phish, and The Allman Bros.....and put them all into a blender and press blend. Then while it's blending, take the lid off. The pieces that fly out are like my songs. Every song is different! I pride myself on staying original, but I can't deny my influences. I never know what kind of style my next song will be. I've learned to be thankful for my inspiration, rather than try to keep a lid on it!!!!
