Jacob Powell sings country music with an authority and authenticity that comes from both God-given talent and hard-earned experience. He launched his musical journey in Lawrenceburg, TN, a small town south of Nashville, where he grew up listening to the Allman Brothers, George Jones, and George Strait. In 2015, he played over 100 dates and is well on his way to do the same in 2016 - playing with Florida-Georgia Line, Dustin Lynch, The Cadillac Three, David Nail and many more.

The edgy energy of Powell's songs makes them leap from the speakers and command attention. Live, Powell's high-octane concerts are rapidly earning him a reputation as one of Nashville's most talented artist and writers.
