Sounds Like
If you climb through the surface tension,
so the chill captures you more awake.
The silent, black silk,
slides along,
your weightless body.
Above and behind you,
the timeless universe,
Explodes.
You are insignificant amongst the stars.
But it's only matter,
Or heart-wrenching ecstasy.
It's whatever,
you make it out to be.
A true Old West transplant from the Black Hills of South Dakota, Jake Salcone's music has bounced around with him on four continents, borrowing something from these wanderings. Lively, soulful vocals and calculated word choice distance Jake from more Dylanesque raconteurs. His songs ring with straightforward honesty, indicative of his Old West roots. The style drifts from blues to soul, to folk, to newgrass, bringing up names like Ben Harper, James Taylor, Otis Redding, G. Love, and Tom Petty.
Jake Salcone has recently resettled, along with thousands of other young pilgrims, to what may become know as the Nashville of Folk-Pop - Portland, Oregon. Jake often performs alone, but likes to pull together some bass, drum, piano and fiddle players now and again. His first full-length studio album, "The Unknown", is now available at www.cdbaby.com.

I've been listening to a lot of Jackson Browne lately and I think you'd like him, if you haven't heard of him already. Check him out. I think he was most popular in the 70's and 80's
your hair isn't short anymore. you need a more representative photo of your current appearance. or, you could always cut your hair. that would work too.
