Bio
Jake Davis is a young man with a honeyed-voice, sharing new songs for old souls. Old souls who have survived the trials and troubles of labor, love, and loss. Olds souls who get up when they fall. Old souls who have been molded by long nights, mild neurosis, hootenannies, temptation, and American music. You may also recognize Davis as the lap steel player for Marjorie Senet & the Broken-Home Boys, or as the bass player for Liz Frame and the Kickers.
Jake Davis & the Whiskey Stones is a cast of Seacoast NH’s finest pickers. Beyond a hearty voice and an acoustic guitar, Davis’ music is brought to life with smooth banjo pickin', Telecaster twang, and a tight rhythm section. Blending old-time, bluegrass, jazz, and country, these handsome gentlemen generate a sweet, salty, and soulful Americana sound. The band is celebrating the release of their debut album, Out in The Weeds, recorded at the Electric Cave in Portsmouth, NH."

Interviews/Press
Of all the records I’ve ever waited for, I think this is the one I eagerly anticipated the most. Mr. Davis placed a live EP into my hands what feels like an eternity ago, which was a fun document, but not where I figured the songwriter could take his music if properly recorded. Well, he did it. And it’s a powerful musical statement while being as loose, playful, and fun as is to be expected from a band called the Whiskey Stones. Start at the end with “My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend,” and work your way to the front. It’ll cure what ails ya. Seacoastonline.com

The music of Jake Davis is tough to categorize. It’s folk, jazz, rock and roll, and bluegrass and everything in between. Out in the Weeds features Jake’s soft yet weathered vocals, backed perfectly by a band that can seemingly play any genre. Folknh.com
