Jacob Smith Music
Singing Guitarist · Milford, MI · Travels up to 90 miles
Hi, I'm Jacob! I play acoustic covers spanning classic rock, 90s favorites, country, indie, and modern hits, all delivered with a gritty voice and a guitar. My goal is simple: keep people singing along, tapping their feet, and having a better time than they were before I showed up. Whether providing the soundtrack for a packed brewery, a private party, or a community event, I bring professional sound, a wide-ranging setlist, and just enough humor to keep things interesting.
Turn the Page - Bob Seger
Rockstar - Nickelback (requested)

He sings, plays, and reads the room, mixing originals with a wide range of covers spanning classic rock, 90s favorites, country, indie, and modern hits.

Weekends (Friday through Sunday) are his regular availability. Weeknight shows, Monday through Thursday, are open by request, so reach out directly with your date and he'll let you know if he can make it work.

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

Can Jacob coordinate with our venue or event planner?
Of course! He's happy to work directly with whoever's running point on your event to sort out timing and logistics.
