Jacob Goins is a folk songwriter, performer, and producer from the far west of North Carolina.
His writing is born of woods, of the emergence and recession of light, and of the silence in which he lingers. He strives to make art that doesn’t sing over the quiet, but sings along with it.

A native of Western North Carolina, Jacob was born in Brevard and grew up in Brasstown, among a large family of musicians. Though his style draws from traditional Appalachian music, his influences are broad, spanning English Folk, Piedmont Blues, Classical, and Jazz. These are combined with his subtle guitar playing and vocal style that are an intuitive response to the lush and mountainous land that he comes from.
