Here’s more about Jacob.
* He’s from Eden, Wisc., but the singer-songwriter calls Portland, Oregon, home.
* In 2009, he says he boarded an Amtrak with a suitcase and a guitar “and little idea of what my plan was — except to get out of the hometown mindset.”
* He wound up doing that in a big way, embarking on a hitch-hiking tour of North America during which he studied traditional music, spending time in the Appalachians and the Blue Ridge Mountains.
* After a year and a half, he returned to Portland and formed a roots band called Jacob Miller and the Bridge City Crooners. They became popular on the tour circuit and released four albums between 2012 and 2016.
* Jacob said the band was “a beautiful experience,” but he reached the point where he wasn’t content writing “old-time music” any longer. The band disbanded in August 2017.
* Jacob, meanwhile, launched a successful Kickstarter campaign to fund his first-ever solo album and writes that the “change was more artistically satisfying than I ever could have imagined.”
* The end result — a 10-song album called “This New Home” — landed last June. Check out the impressive lead single “Take Me Home” below.
* Jacob then embarked on a tour of Europe that included nearly two dozen shows with stops in Germany, France, Luxembourg and Austria.
* Jacob announced his Voice audition earlier this month, writing on Instagram: “In a bizarre turn of events, a group of producers thought it wise to invite me to sing on national television — and I took them up on it.”
