風格近似"Shuffling and whistling turned to silence... the closest you'll ever get to seeing Jack White playing folk music" Birmingham Live

"With his folk-tinged songs of love lost and won, he drew a sizeable crowd for an act so early on in the day’s schedule and deserved a slot far higher up the billing" Clash review of Summer Sundae Weekender 2009

"Amongst the several dozen acts to appear upon the stage over the three days Jake Flowers' early Saturday morning set proved to be a particular musical delicacy... armed with nothing more than a guitar, a bass drum and a tambourine Flowers’ set evoked the spirits of early Jackson Browne - the image of the lone balladeer being perpetuated throughout... Flowers’ subtly nuanced voiced seemed the perfect vehicle for his songs of the lonesome moments of heartache." Avenue 61 Review of Doghouse Stage at Wychwood Festival 2009

"Twinges of Paul Simon and James Taylor shine through his trembly glowing vocals and impressive string-tickling nimbleness, while a bass drum and toe tambourine tomfoolery add to a slick performance of incredibly dynamic, tightly controlled biographical ballads." www.bbc.co.uk/manchester

"As he picks at his strings you feel the calm descend in the room. Jake's voice is soft and soothing, as soon as you hear it you're swept away to English landscapes, straw bales basking in the late evening sun, the country pub in winter with a welcoming fire to the weary traveller... Footprints and One For The Ditch keep alive the tradition of folk song writing, story-telling handed down from one generation to the next." Birmingham Live, April '09

"Flowers is keeping up the tradition of songs as storytelling and the whole set resonated with a welcome familiarity, like spending an hour with the bespectacled love child of Cat Stevens and Joan Baez" City Life

"His debut single has started to warm our hearts" Manchester Evening News

"I've been a fan of his music for a while... anyone who can get this kind of music played on Kerrang Radio, for fuck's sake, must have something about them" Song, by Toad

"Has the world at his feet when it comes to writing a good song" Sandman

"An alt-folk singer-songwriter with a guitar, a kick drum and a very fetching hat... I've seen him once before a couple of years ago at a Twisted Folk Festival and he's even better than I remember." Efestivals

"What a great debut! With a massive bank of songs already in hand I hope it won't be too long before we hear the debut LP as well." Selby Times

"It's easy to see why Flowers' live shows can bring people to tears. Simple, but very effective" Burton Mail

"Small World (Concrete), a short but perfectly formed finger-picked slice of rippling country-folk" Mike Davies, The Beat

“Gentle tones and masterful lyrics… before yesterday I had heard of Jake Flowers, last night I realised why” Guestlist

“Something of a revelation… a huge songwriting talent” Manchester Music

“It’s a small miracle that so many gems should sparkle within these small but detailed cameos… an unadulterated pleasure from start to end” Whisperin’ & Hollerin’

   關於 Jake Flowers

Welcome to my myspace page.

In November of 2009 I took some of my friends and musicians into a recording studio in the West Midlands to record a bunch of my new songs. You can now hear a few of them on here.

My live set changes all the time and I'm lucky to often have the wonderful Gauden Brothers on bass and drums. I'm also hoping that future shows may occasionally benefit from having one or two more of the fantastic musicians who helped to make these sessions so special.

See you around,

Jake x
