Listening to country radio today, it’s not uncommon to find an artist challenging the norms, and recording music for the love of the lyric. But in a genre currently dominated by flat brims and ball caps, you’ll find Jacob Rice strumming on your heart strings. 

Coming from the town of Wallingford, Vermont with a mere 2000 residents, Rice was raised stacking the wood stove, enjoying the great outdoors, and writing his songs by the river. Like the sap from the maple trees, his sweet songs are taken straight from the heart. Rice’s hybrid country sound transcends genre to deliver an authentic experience driven by heartfelt lyrics and a soulful, passionate vocal. His current release, Way You Were Loving Me, brings a timeless, refreshing take on the current country sound. 

He has had the honor of being produced by Chad Cromwell (Anders Osbourne, Joe Walsh, Neil Young) and Paul Worley (Lady A, The Chicks, Martina McBride) for an upcoming project. Rice was also chosen by the prestigious Bluebird Cafe and Taylor Guitars as their January 2021 Golden Pick. Rice has been featured on Spotify’s “New Music Nashville”, Vermont Public Radio, and 101.5 WEXP Vermont Community Radio. All of these accomplishments are a testament to Rice’s hard work and dedication to making great, lasting music.

Grounded by a love for his home state, Rice is ready to show the world who he is - one song at a time.
