Based in Chicago, Jake tours extensively as a member of both the Henhouse Prowlers and Westbound Situation. His experience touring internationally with the Henhouse Prowlers has deepened his interest in cultural diplomacy, using music as a global language to connect. A graduate of Berklee College of Music with a B.A. in Performance and a minor in American Roots Music, Jake draws inspiration from mentors like Joe K. Walsh and formative experiences at programs such as the Savannah Acoustic Music Seminar with Mike Marshall, Julian Lage, and Casey Driessen. Originally self-taught, Jake remains deeply grateful to the mandolin community that helped shape his path—and he’s made it a mission to give back. Through his Patreon, he creates free mandolin resources designed for players at every level, sharing materials he wishes he’d had when he was starting out. As an educator, Jake has taught at programs including the Savannah Music Festival’s Musical Explorers (in partnership with Carnegie Hall), Bluegrass Ambassadors, Ossipee Valley Music Camp, Berklee's Five-Week Program, and more in addition to teaching private lessons. Whether on stage or in the classroom, he approaches music as a lifelong student and passionate teacher, always looking to share, connect, and grow. You can hear Jake’s playing and writing on the Henhouse Prowlers’ latest Dark Shadow Recordings release, Unravel (2025), as well as on Westbound Situation’s newest album, Accord. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e750e52283f5b7394790903/f65bcff3-abbc-4798-8915-670acb14eb9f/DSC00498.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e750e52283f5b7394790903/237e2087-ccc2-4976-b90f-8d16e4f71e12/Westbound_2021-122.jpg https://www.jakehowardmusic.com/tour daily 0.75 2022-02-13 https://www.jakehowardmusic.com/media daily 0.75 2025-07-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e750e52283f5b7394790903/71cafb44-f0ea-4e6d-a613-16a579e6c71b/DSC00546.jpg Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e750e52283f5b7394790903/39e3a0c3-0330-4f53-9e7a-3e128e94ef78/JH+Photo+-+HHP+Park+West+Color.jpg Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e750e52283f5b7394790903/c3c13593-2d52-410a-83cf-586e2c82806b/DSC00112.jpg Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e750e52283f5b7394790903/d91e8b83-893e-4b5e-86ba-b331f04eb538/DSC00676.jpg Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e750e52283f5b7394790903/9cef5369-5a90-47c9-a429-029f26a9a3f5/DSC00408.jpg Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e750e52283f5b7394790903/5f7e2672-0a51-4038-adb2-7247c8680a47/JH+Photo+-+headshot+%281%29.JPEG Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e750e52283f5b7394790903/b59d10f0-46a8-41fe-8af8-a9c519f604e5/DSC00099.jpg Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e750e52283f5b7394790903/c7db090c-6ddf-4c1d-b254-a428f6c28c21/JH+Photo+-+Park+West+Solo+Shot.jpg Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e750e52283f5b7394790903/dc63dd39-26e7-48bf-b74d-9bd702da8820/DSC00947.jpg Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e750e52283f5b7394790903/44e25bb4-caa0-40ec-9441-ea54b9ed0502/DSC00335.jpg Media https://www.jakehowardmusic.com/teaching daily 0.75 2025-07-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e750e52283f5b7394790903/f171f0ff-58fa-4393-9546-73181ddf04e1/Neutral+Minimal+Simple+Elegant+Quote+Instagram+Post+%283%29.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e750e52283f5b7394790903/eeb6b6b1-105c-4c29-a17d-5aff4105c017/New-Patreon-Logo.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e750e52283f5b7394790903/0a554b1f-0143-4ace-a54e-4648982f3c91/Neutral+Minimal+Simple+Elegant+Quote+Instagram+Post+%282%29.png https://www.jakehowardmusic.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-07-02 https://www.jakehowardmusic.com/donate daily 0.75 2022-04-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e750e52283f5b7394790903/d0b95489-d395-4f85-b997-6049dbe79452/paypal-logo-png-transparent.jpg Donate - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
