   About Jake Hill
Jake Hill is a singer/songwriter.

Press Quotes:

Old Colony Memorial 2008 Artist of the Year - "Jake Hill keeps folk music and Americana alive and kickin,’ recently releasing his Plimro Records debut disc, Heave To. But his music roots date back to high school when he played in a punk rock band. Since then, he’s matured into one of the area’s greatest emerging singer-songwriters." - Ryan Wood, Old Colony Memorial Columnist

"Hill’s songwriting and performance of them is as infectious, melodic and masterful as anything that has ever come out of this area. His soprano style voice and songwriting is not unlike that of a Muswell Hillbilly era Ray Davies and his onstage antics are as cool as they are awkward. The topics of his songs range from new found love “Bird Food,” to insecure relationships “Out Of My Hands” and “Heave To” a song about dying on a sailboat!" - The Noise

"The stripped down nature of Jake's songs make the lyrics pop into the foreground. The songwriting is very strong, and even more though provoking. A beautiful collection of stories that I recommend to everyone who love singer/ songwriter music." - New England Entertainment Digest

you sounded good the other day at T-Bones. even though i almost died in a car accident minutes before seeing you play, i still had a good time. I haven't heard you play some of the older stuff in a long time. i forgot how good those songs are.
