Ryan Jacobs emerges as an enthralling voice in the country music landscape with a seamless blend of classic '90s charm and modern indie grit. Drawing inspiration from ‘90s legends like Brooks & Dunn and John Michael Montgomery while channeling the introspective depth of Tyler Childers and Sturgill Simpson, Jacobs crafts music that feels timeless yet forward-thinking. His Oregon roots provide small town authenticity, but his time spent living in Europe and Mexico—and his fluency in multiple languages—imbue his artistry with unique perspective and a global sensibility. On his debut album, recorded in Nashville, Jacobs delivers a fresh take on country: from heartfelt ballads to barnstorming anthems, his songs speak to the universal truths of love, struggle, and wanderlust. Whether steeped in honky-tonk grooves or indie-folk acoustics, Jacobs’ voice resonates with raw emotion and storytelling prowess, positioning him as a compelling new figure in the evolving country canon.
