"Jake Allen is a young newcomer to San Diego. He's a solid songwriter and singer- but when he puts two hands on the fretboard he virtually has no peer! Jake's amazing, jaw-dropping two-handed technique puts him in a class all by himself! On top of his blazing acoustic guitar work, Jakes' CD, "Heart Consumer And The Artist," shows that his acoustic work is just the tip of the iceberg. Jakes' CD is a cutting-edged modern alternative rock release with full band arrangements, massive electric guitars, solid power vocals, punchy drumming, and tight bass work- and all songs are written and performed by Jake himself!"

-JIM EARP, WORLD FINGERSTYLIST, TOP FIVE RUNNER UP

A guitar becomes an extension of a soul in this experimental display of melody and technicality. Written throughout a long dreamy journey across North America, SleEP truly captures the feeling of discovering unexplored places both tangible and ethereal. Instrumentally abundant, a voice awakens from time to time only to accompany the storytelling of the instruments. From the moments of uplifting resonance to the passages of suspense, even anguish, this extended EP will conjure up imagery from beyond the lines of the map. Thoughtful, eccentric, inspiring… SleEP is all good and stuff.
