ARTIST BIO
Commonly described as “Hypnotic Folk,” (think the grit and lyrical density of Bob Dylan with the atmospheric depth of Pink Floyd,) Rountree brings a love of Quantum Physics and Engineering into the spiritual world of music. Jacob effortlessly transports his listeners into a fresh perspective of the human condition, with use of enigmatic poetry, ethereal melodies and original approaches to instrumentation.
Born in New Mexico, raised in Washington, now based in Montana, Rountree embodies the attitude of the west as an active pioneer of new soundscapes, forging his own way through the alternative-folk/ indie-rock genres.
Rountree tours independently across the Pacific Northwest, Mountain West, and beyond, bringing a self-contained, professional presentation suited for clubs, theaters, and festival stages.
