Hi there, looks like you guys put on some great shows! I am looking to potentially book myself/my band for something this summer, just wondering where/who I can do that through?
Thank you,

Thanks for reaching out Jacob. We will shoot you an email 🙂
Hi there!
My name is Jacob McLeod, and I am a Michigan based singer/songwriter. I am contacting you because I am hoping to book a performance slot for your upcoming summer 2025 music series! As a solo artist, my music is a mix of folk, singer/songwriter, pop, and rock, and I’ve been releasing my original music for years now (linked below if you’d like to check it out!). I also do shows with my band All That Jazz, and could perform either solo or accompanied by them based on your preference. Please let me know if you’d be interested in booking me, and if so, what I need to do to make that happen!
Thank you!
-JM
