We've found a great new artist by the name of Jake Coco. He's got a new album called “Broken Hearts and Fairy Tales,” which he recorded all by himself. Influences include Elvis Costello, Elton John, Billy Joel, James Taylor and Butch Walker. And I'm telling you, this guy is the real deal. His appeal reminds me of Jude Cole; singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer.Born in Cleveland Ohio in 1984, he began playing violin at age two, and taught himself guitar and drums by the time he was nine. By fourteen Jake was performing at local jazz, blues and rock clubs. After graduating high school in 2002, he was offered a full scholarship to the “Berklee School of Music.” But instead, he followed his passon for music and chose to continue performing with his band “Spenser.” Later, Jake returned home after two years of playing small clubs and colleges and began to write.
Sequestered in his basement studio for months, he wrote, arranged, produced, mixed and mastered the songs that became the album “Broken Hearts and Fairy Tales."
The first single "Graceland" is starting to get airplay, and you can view the video on his website.
Thanks David...here's another great new artist you've turned me onto!
