Chanteur et
compositeur Bluegrass US originaire de Ipswich (Massachusetts).
Singer and
songwriter Jake Armerding draws on a wealth of influences in his music —
contemporary folk, progressive bluegrass, classic folk-rock of the '60s, and
singer/songwriters of the '70s and '80s — but he prefers to classify his music
in a simple fashion: good. "We're going for good," he says. "Good is our sole
criterion." Jake Armerding was born in Massachusetts, where his father, Taylor
Armerding, was a noted journalist and musician who played for several years with
the progressive bluegrass band Northern Lights. Jake picked up a guitar when he
was a boy, and by the time he was 14 he was good enough to sit in with
Northern Lights on-stage. Jake also learned mandolin and violin and started writing songs,
and while studying English at Wheaton College, a Christian college in Illinois,
he found time to record an album, 1999's Caged Bird, which he distributed
himself. Caged Bird sold out its initial pressing of 1,000 copies through
positive press and word of mouth, and earned him the "Best New Artist of 2000"
award from Boston's WUMB-FM. After graduating, Jake relocated to Nashville in
hopes of shifting his musical career into high gear; while he didn't care for
life in music city and soon returned to Boston, he stayed just long enough to
score a contract with the noted independent label Compass Records, which
released his self-titled second album in 2003. Four years later, after he'd
established a strong following on the Massachusetts folk scene, Jake self-released
his third disc, Walking on the World, in the spring of 2007.
