   About Jake Roche
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Hailed as a breath of fresh air in the folk genre by Lonesome Music’s Americana/Folk blog, New England native Jake Roche reminds listeners of the folk and experimental rock traditions of the 1960’s transported by new influences and production to be completely contemporary and relevant in our time. His command of lyrical poeticism, vocal harmony, and instrumental arranging ensure his place among the upper echelon of singer/songwriters. His distinct voice is at once artful and slightly dissonant while passionate and painfully vulnerable.

shapes moving and dancing

cosmic energy shifting

the guitars are all singing

each note an explosion

Hello! There's this very cool rock festival going on this weekend at Vanderbilt University. Lots of great acts including my friend, Alana Grace! You can check her out at: www. myspace. com/alanagrace and check out details of this music festival at: www. ritesofspring. com to see the line-up and all other details. Lady Antebellum, Spoon and Feist are going to be there among many other artists! All happening Friday and Saturday! Alana's playing on SATURDAY at 445pm, so come check her out! You won't be sorry that you did and there's lots of great music all the rest of the evening, too.

Just trying to spread the word about her and her music because she's been very supportive of Forget-Me-Not.

Please re-post this to help spread the word and hope you're having a great week!
