"One of the most inspiring live shows I've ever seen." -fan, Nashville, TN

"Authentic and mythic." -Basic Printer

That made me cry. It helps me say goodbye to my last love. This is like the biggest release of grief and your songs make it feel like I am not alone. Thank you. This one hits hard for me. One of my favorite songs ever, in life, thank you for sharing.

I sent a music video Jacob made of one of his songs to an old friend who would not return my calls or texts for years. It prompted them to call me on the phone and we spent 5 hours discussing our past together and what has been happening since we lost touch.

Absolutely incredible musician and I would have tipped more if I could.

My mom and I just listened to your EP together and we are blown away. It's really something special, Jacob.

Jacob Milstein is a poet musician based in Oklahoma City and Nashville.

His genre-wandering maverick singer-songwriter music works magic on the quiet ache beneath modern life.

Much of his writing is shaped by self-reflective seasons and streaks of unconventional travel by foot and hitchhiking. He's released over 60 tracks, with three new albums and a debut poetry book slated for release in 2025.
