Born in the oldest city in America, Jacob Hudson didn’t grow up in a musical household, but has had the support of his family since he was a kid. Teenage heartbreak would be the catalyst for him to begin writing songs to express himself. He asked his brother for a couple hundred dollars to buy some recording equipment and would begin his journey with no knowledge of recording at all. Using his closet as a makeshift studio, he would go on to track and release his first EP, Sailors at Sea. With the experience he gained from this project and the lessons learned from playing shows around the Southeast, he went on to write and record two more EP’s, The Tomb and It All Repeats. His newest project, Great Lakes, features the culmination of years of producing for other artists and reflecting on his life thus far. Sonically, his songs range from gentle to cinematic and from precise to unexpected. The lyrics can be broad and archetypal at times, but also specific and intimate. His love of writing, recording, and producing permeates through all of his songs and gives the listener a sense of warm sincerity.
