"Jakob Martin is Revolutionizing Acoustic Music."
-JVibe Magazine
One evening at a rural college in Ohio, Jakob Martin unexpectedly found himself
on stage in front of a completely male audience. Knowing his set for the night
consisted mostly of love songs, Jakob singled out the one girl in the room and
said, “Every song I play tonight is for her.”
“Watch out; her boyfriend is here,” someone heckled. Without skipping a beat,
Martin replied: “In that case, every song I play is for HIM.”
Tenacity and charisma have helped Jakob Martin earn recognition as a world class
entertainer and a compelling performer. Martin’s ability to move an
audience, combined with a powerful voice and thoughtful lyrics, have contributed
to his growing reputation as one of the hottest up-and-coming singer/songwriters
on the West Coast.
In 2005, as an undergraduate at UC San Diego, Martin won an all-campus talent
search, which inspired him to further pursue his passion for music. Since then,
the twenty-five year old has played over 500 concerts across the United States,
shared the stage with artists such as Ryan Cabrera, Glen Phillips, Ari Hest, Blues Traveler, and
Hellogoodbye, released three records, and sold over 7000 copies of his
recordings, all as an unsigned artist. Jakob’s music has often been compared
with John Mayer, Billy Joel, and Bob Dylan, and he has built a loyal fan base
numbering into the thousands.
Jakob’s latest record, City of the Nameless EP, was released in April, and
features guest performances by several renown artists, including Flogging
Molly’s Matt Hensley, and Brodeeva (G. Love, Santana, Smokey Robinson
collaborators).
Jakob tours relentlessly, and has recently launched a viral campaign (The 50k
challenge) designed to reach 50,000 new fans by August 30, 2010. For more information, visit http://www.facebook.com/home.php/group.php?gid=2208199432&ref=ts
