Jacob & Drinkwater

Critically acclaimed Southwest based alt-folk duo Jacob & Drinkwater formed in 2014, playing their first gig together at the iconic Glastonbury Festival. Jacob’s sweeping vocals never fail to captivate, delivering many a spine-tingling moment; the fluidity and precision of his fingerpicking underpinned by Drinkwater’s nimbly rhythmic double bass; at times sweetly soaring, haunting, percussive and driving. Featured numerous times on BBC Radio 2, BBC6 Music and lauded by their musical peers, the pair are one of the most accomplished acts touring the circuit today. Jacob & Drinkwater’s latest album More Notes from the Field (October 2021), is an exploration of the theme of friendship and connection through song. It has been met with glowing reviews from Folk Radio UK, Fatea and Folking, was playlisted by US-based Americana magazine ‘No Depression’ on a ‘best of 2021’ list; included in Folk Radio UK’s Top 100 albums of 2021; and described as “..beguiling, lyrical, and perfectly attuned..” by Songlines magazine. “Stand out new folk...superb...excellent” Chris Hawkins.
