About
Just Him & the Guitar
Based in Milford, Michigan, Jacob Smith grew up in the small town of Byron, MI where music was always close by. He plays entirely acoustic: no backing tracks, no band, just a guitar, a gritty voice, and a wide-ranging setlist spanning classic rock, 90s favorites, country, indie, and modern hits. Whether it's a packed brewery, a private party, or a community event, his goal is simple: keep the crowd singing along, tapping their feet, and having a better time than before he showed up, jokes included. Every show is also backed by professional sound and stage lighting from Uptown Light & Sound, so it's just one guy and a guitar with the full production of a bigger act.

Yes, Jacob holds regular slots at several venues (see Where He's Played) and can set up a recurring booking at yours too.

Absolutely. He's fully acoustic and doesn't need a stage or elaborate setup, so patios, decks, and outdoor events all work well. Just let him know the setting when you reach out.
Can we request songs?

Can Jacob coordinate with our venue or event planner?
