LISTEN: Jacob Alon - 'Confession'

Goodness, where did the year go? I've been really struggling to find much time for the blog recently (so if you're reading this, I appreciate you sticking around) - it turns out that managing a bookstore is a fairly time consuming thing. Who knew?! I'm still here though (and the blog is now on Bluesky if you're that way inclined) and still falling for so much gorgeous new music. 

About a year ago, I went to see Bear's Den at the stunning Union Chapel (coincidentally the next show I have lined up is Stornoway in the same venue - I can't wait!) The Den did a run of a few nights there, with a different opening act each night. On the night I went it was Jacob Alon, a pretty spectacular solo artist with an acoustic guitar, angel wings (no, really) and an angelic voice to match. I adored their set - and was delighted to see that they've recently shared their first couple of singles. I just had to come here and share Confession - I'm a tad obsessed. 

Don't just take my word for how brilliant the track is, and Jacob - they're already counting Jools Holland and Elton John as fans with recent appearances on their TV and radio shows respectively. Impressive stuff! 

If you'd like to see Jacob live, they've just announced a headline tour for January. Tickets for the tour and everything else you might want are here on Linktree.
