Nice to meet you. I'm Jake.
Jake Wren is a singer-songwriter from Rochester, NY. He earned his MA as a Music Historian at SUNY University of Buffalo in 2023. His performances in American folk, blues, and old-time genres aim to convey historical perspectives to contemporary audiences. His work is inspired by the people first activism of artists such as Woody Guthrie, and the intimate stylings of writers and performers such as John Prine, Doc Watson, Townes Van Zandt, and Jimmie Rodgers. Jake’s songs tell stories of longing and introspection, avoiding poetic complexity for transparent narratives as plain as a bumper sticker. His compositions reflect on love, friendship, and individuality. But while much of Jake’s work grapples with his own tenuous contemporary perspectives, other songs find stability as they interact and respond with traditional songs within his genres.
