RISING ARTIST JAKE MINCH UNVEILS NEW SINGLE & TOUR
August 3 - August 28
Rising singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Jake Minch unveils his new song “Drawing a Tattoo” today—listen HERE. The track comes ahead of his highly-anticipated debut album, George, set for July 11 via 2for2 projects/Mercury Records—pre-save/pre-order HERE.
“This is a song about leaving home because there was no other choice,” says Jake. “It’s an amalgamation of the lives and memories of me and the friends I left when I moved to LA, along with the things I would tell myself to keep my feet on the ground. It’s partially a callout to my own inability to change without needing to feel better than everyone else (like competitively growing up) and the comedown of seeing a friend get trapped.”
In celebration of the new music, Jake will embark on a headline tour this August, with stops at Brooklyn’s Baby’s All Right, Los Angeles’ Moroccan Lounge, Chicago’s Schubas Tavern, Toronto’s Velvet Underground and more. Visit https://shop.jakeminch.com for more information and see below for a complete list of dates.
Recorded and produced between Los Angeles and Connecticut by Jake and Tony Berg(Taylor Swift, Boygenius) with contribution from Mason Stoops (Lizzy McAlpine, Role Model), George finds the 22-year-old storyteller exploring grief, guilt and identity through the complexities in his personal relationships. Titled after Jake’s birth name, Georgecaptures the angst and discomfort of growing up and leaving home with a disarming vulnerability that traces the album’s 12 tracks.
Ahead of the album, Jake shared the first single, “Fingers and Clothes,” last month—listen HERE and watch the official video HERE.
Born and raised in Connecticut, Jake Minch burst onto the scene in 2023 with his hit single “handgun,” racking up 1.3 million views on the song’s initial teaser and earning support from the likes of Noah Kahan, Lizzy McAlpine, Zach Bryan, Gracie Abrams, Fletcher and many more. Over the last few years, the 2for2 projects/Mercury Records artist has garnered a dedicated fanbase through his deeply personal lyrics on love, growing up and grief. Jake has toured the world over, sharing stages with the likes of The Head And The Heart, Jeremy Zucker, Ben Abraham, Holly Humberstone, Grace Enger and Sadie Jean. He’ll set off on an extensive North American headline tour this summer / fall.
More from Jake is imminent.
