DJ Mel Z hosts a special live appearance at KVCU Radio 1190's Carlson studios with Jacob T. Simons in advance of his performance with Palamara at eTown Hall!

Jacob T. Simons is a songwriter with a gift for fearlessness. He is not afraid to make himself vulnerable as he reaches into his soul and puts to the page whatever he might find there: beauty, ugliness, truth, untruth. Whether drawing on folk, blues or experimental music, his understated guitar work and plainspoken candor strip the compositions down to their raw essentials and leave nothing hidden. He is the former leader and impresario of the Michigan-based collective Moon Orchids, with whom he released a pair of acclaimed records prior to their dissolution in 2025.
