Influenced by Bruno Mars, Old Dominion, Train and Billy Currington, Jacob Rice started his journey into his musical career by moving to Nashville, TN in 2020 during the middle of a worldwide pandemic. He put out his first song "Whatever Floats Your Boat" followed by a song he wrote for his wife called "Forever I Do." In this episode, Jacob talks about those songs along with how he did the donkey ride of shame and left his wife at the top of a mountain. Listen to hear the whole story and more about this incredible new artist! We highlighted Jacob as an Unsigned Artists of the Month in July of 2022 and it's been fun to watch how things have grown for him since then. Just last week he was in Key West performing for the Key West Songwriters Festival and he released his last single, "Picture This," on May 5. He's releasing his next single on May 12 called "Hurt People" followed by his five song sophomore EP "Open Tabs at Empty Bars" that comes out May 19. Go follow Jacob and we hope you become a fan just like we are!
