"Appalachian Red Dirt,"  That's how Jacob Paul Allen describes his brand of Country Music. It's a style and sound that he has crafted on stages large and small from coast to coast for the past 15 years. From the neon lights of Lower Broadway in Nashville, TN to the famed Whisky-A-Go-Go on the Sunset Strip in California, Jacob has been carving out his path and creating a sound that blends Country, Rock, Bluegrass and Americana in a way that is true to his Appalachian roots, yet feels so familiar that listeners are easily drawn in and left wanting to hear more. Whether he is playing a solo show or getting rowdy with his band, Jacob captures the audience with his infectious stage presence and reels them into the stories that he tells, both in his songs and his stage banter. Jacob released his debut EP  "Southern Love" in January of 2023 and in May of 2023 he released his highly anticipated hometown anthem "Tyro" which has quickly become a crowd favorite. 

His music caught the attention of Freight Train Management, an artist development company based out of Richmond VA, and he has recently partnered with them to take his music to the next level. With new songs being written and recorded and new venues being booked, 2024 is shaping up to wild ride for the JPA camp.
