Jacob & the Dazey Chain

Jacob & The Dazey Chain is the vision of Jacob Reese Thornton, a prolific 21-year-old singer, songwriter, and guitarist who brings a richness and depth to his music that exceeds his years. Jacob & The Dazey Chain is infused with the DNA of early influences like Oasis, The Strokes, Green Day, and R.E.M., resulting in an utterly unique blend of Brit-pop and alternative rock.

“Shell Game,” the first single from the band’s upcoming LP is a soaring and irresistible rock anthem that glimmers with fresh power-pop sheen. “Shell Game is about charting your own course and being willing to fail in spite of uncertainty that exists in the modern world. There are always setbacks but you gotta dust yourself off and keep going.” The song was produced by Mark Needham (The Killers, Lindsey Buckingham) after a chance encounter at the concession stand of a show at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena. On release day, the single's accompanying official music video was chosen as the #1 spot on VEVO's Incoming Alternative editorial playlist.

A few of Jacob’s early career highlights include being invited and performing at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival in Dallas (2019) and breaking into Amazon’s Top 25, best selling alternative rock releases as an independent artist with his debut EP, “The Sky Is All I Need to Get High” (2021).

In Spring 2024, Jacob & the Dazey Chain will embark on their first ever headline tour, playing small, 100-cap clubs across the east coast in support of their debut full-length, “Don’t Look Away!”, slated for release this May.
