Scarlett and I are getting married in 6 weeks!

I’m halfway through my Masters in Music Education program from the University of Florida.

My new newsletter, podcast, and blog Earth Tones with Jake Pardee has been launched, which I’m excited about. You can watch / listen to new episodes on Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Podcasts by following the link in the navigation bar.

I’m performing at the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Abington, MA under the direction of Dennis Montgomery III every Sunday and continuing to learn lots of contemporary and traditional Gospel songs.

I’m deep into the musical style of Robben Ford, who I’ve been studying with through his online dojo program. Robben’s insights and positivity about my playing have really encouraged me lately.

Playing some great shows with The Attractors. We’re headed to the ska festival Supernova next weekend.
