Jake Nelson — a singer/songwriter from St. Paul, Minnesota — has been making a splash in the Minnesota music scene since 2015 playing gigs across the state. His self-titled, independently-produced debut album, released in June 2017, has made some buzz and gotten radio play on a local, national and international level. Inspired by artists ranging from Lee Brice to Phil Collins to Frank Sinatra, his style is a unique blend of alternative country with a Jake spin. If you haven’t heard his music, give it a listen – you may just find yourself a new favorite rising artist.
9PM-11PM
Country music takes a special kind of person: someone tough with a tender heart, willing to put themselves on the line with others in mind. And with Warner Music Nashville’s Tyler Braden, you can hear it in every song. With his seven-track EP debut, What Do They Know(WDTK),the rising star introduces himself as just such a person–an artist whose compelling combo of tough and tender stand at a crossroads of modern-Rock energy and deeply-felt Country tradition. Just now heating up, his songs have already amassed 70 million streams and counting, built to connect whether it’s Saturday night or Sunday morning. And once you know his backstory, that mix of the gritty and gentle makes perfect sense. “Everyone in music puts in their time in a different way–it’s like that chasing any dream, ”says the singer-songwriter, whoonly recently gave up his day job as a full-time firefighter. “I worked my butt off in the fire service through recruit school, training and my years in Montgomery. If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t be here.”
