Join me at this awesome brewery to help kick of the Square Roots Fest. I’ll be playing for an hour and then another performer will follow. Should be fun and chill!
Join me for a relaxing and chill afternoon gig at the historic Cafe Brauer in Lincoln Park. I’ll be playing outside on the cafe patio by the pond, just adjacent to the Lincoln Park Zoo. It should be lovely! There might even be be ducks!

This one should be fun. This is my band that does a mix of country/americana and classic soul. Imagine Jason Isbell and Al Green formed band together and that should give you an idea. This will be a trio version with the fantastic Colin Scott on Bass and Rob Dicke on drums. I’ve played the Backlot Bash a few times and its a great family friendly street fest. Skokie rules!
Sing and Play along with Jacob Sweet through a packet of about 20 or so protest songs from classic folk and soul anthems to recent rock. All instruments and ability levels are welcome. Let’s come together and make a collective noise toward a better future!

This is a rare public show with my band the Western Harmony outside Wrigley Field. We play a mix of country and classic soul. Imagine if Waylon Jennings and Aretha Franklin had a band together.
Gallagher way is a great outdoor family friendly venue and it’s free!
Also we will be featuring a special guest, my supremely talented brother Simon on keyboards, all the way from Columbus, Ohio. Don’t miss this!
One of my favorite places to play in Chicago. Great food, great people, and all ages welcome!
