Two years after picking up his first guitar, Jake began performing solo—blending powerful, heartfelt lyrics with a mix of original songs and well‑chosen covers JK Country Music+11JK Country Music+11Instagram+11Bandsintown.

Once a climbing arborist—and former student of fisheries biology—Jake took a leap in December 2022 to go full‑time into music, carrying inspiration from his Nebraska roots and his grandfather, former state poet William Kloefkorn JK Country Music+1.

His songs capture the authentic midwestern spirit and real‑life storytelling. Come ready to sing along—or just soak in the vibe with a cold one in hand.
