Jacob Augustine is an folk musician from the northern woods of Maine. Over his two decades as one of the most influential and beloved vocalists and songwriters in the state, he’s reached an enigmatic, near mythic status; touring the country back and forth, releasing records in a flurry, headlining bigger and bigger stages, then disappearing from public eye for years at a time, and back again. Augustine’s records range from heavily-orchestrated, bombastic full-band affairs to raw, stripped-down solo recordings to eccentric, genre-hopping studio projects, but they also center his immediately recognizable voice. The Portland Press Herald writes, “Jacob Augustine has one gilded set of pipes. A diamond in the rough."
Jacob has supported Margaret Glaspy, Nicole Atkins, Friendship, Timber Timbre, Gruff Rhys, Saintseneca, Xylouris White, Simone Felice, O'Death, Lady Lamb, The Wooden Birds, Dan Mangan, and Lydia Loveless.
