About

Known for his uplifting melodies and expressive grooves, guitarist and composer Jake Soffer draws from the sounds of folk, American primitive guitar, ambient, and new age to create a unique, non-lyrical musical voice.

Jake’s music conjures deep meditative moments with nature. He approaches the guitar as if it was an orchestra and unlocks the full tonal range, and rhythmic possibilities of the instrument. Alongside this organic and virtuosic approach, he experiments with ambient textures and looping.

-----------------------

“Jake does a remarkable job of really making each track speak to the listener. I feel as while Soffer plays he is like a new age Bob Ross painting a majestic picture with each note."

-The Whole Kameese

"These four tracks crackle with the kind of cozy domesticity that generally shows up in folk artists’ music once they’ve been happy and weird for a long time."

-Willamette Week

"The range of emotional expression Jake Soffer finds in his guitar is expansive and aurally pleasing. The Tree That Remained Standing is well-worth listening to."
