Event Description
Jacob Augustine with Anthony Jardine

Tickets are $10 in advance $15 at the door. Doors open at 6 pm show starts at 7 pm.



Jacob Augustine is a folk musician from the northern woods of Maine. While living in California in 2008, he recorded his first full-length solo album 'Harmonia.' The record was included in several year-end top ten lists and its single "High Water" received airplay on hundreds of radio stations across the country. Over the past three years, Jacob has released four albums, ranging from heavily-orchestrated full-band affairs to raw, stripped-down solo recordings. Of his latest record, the Portland Press Herald stated, " 'Bikini Island' is an affecting, arresting release, one of those rare pieces of musical art that stays with you long after the last note has faded and your speakers have grown silent." Jacob has toured the country coast-to-coast many times over the last decade, and shared the stage with acts such as Brown Bird, Timber Timbre, O'Death, Simone Felice, Death Vessel, The Wooden Birds, Dan Mangan, Sean Rowe, Nicole Atkins, Los Lonely Boys, and Field Report. He's hard at work on several new recording projects, with his working quartet of percussionist Peter McLaughlin, bassist Asher Platts and multi-instrumentalist McKay Belk. "Jacob Augustine’s music is, by this definition, transcendent. His songs are gorgeously tender, raw, full of throaty urgency and wisdom...The pathos and beauty in his music led me to expect a sage of sorts...Someone who perceives the world with unusual accuracy and clarity of vision." --Maine Magazine


"It's hard not to leave a Jacob Augustine show and feel anything but complete awe and inspiration."--Hillytown


"Jacob Augustine has one gilded set of pipes. A diamond in the rough..."


--Portland Press Harald


“His songs are timeless yet dwell on mortality. He may be as lost as everyone else, but listen to his music and you may never want to be found."


-- The Deli Magazine


“Possessing the stage presence and integrity of a firebrand preacher (except without all the answers), Augustine commands urgency and attention.”
-- The Portland Phoenix


“My urge to kidnap this man and transport him down the road and out to that old church with just two walls nestled between the trees and gravestones at the cemetery where we buried my dad’s brothers is very high. Very high. Dude could sing about Hannah Montana riding a unicorn and I’d probably still recommend you download his jams…”
-- Folk Hive
