Jacob Metcalf to Kick Off 2017 Tour in Support of Recent Solo Album

Hailing from Dallas, Texas, postmodern composer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jacob Metcalf is set to tour the US and Canada solo in Spring 2017. Metcalf made a splash with his debut album Fjord (2016), which received pleasant responses from the international press community and music lovers alike for its breathtaking collection of art-folk compositions that range from wistful, unhurried ballads to swirling, majestic orchestrations, sometimes within the same song, and all set to Metcalf's inviting vocals and non-linear storytelling.

The material for the record was pulled from hand-scrawled journals written over a decade and spanning five continents (Asia, Africa, Europe, North and South America). More recently, Metcalf lived inside a four foot crawl space between a vintage store and loft apartments in order to save enough from his day jobs to complete the album. Recorded in Austin, Ft. Worth and Dallas with 30 talented musician friends, the singer-songwriter and band saw every dive, theater and city street as the ideal stage to prep the songs before further dressing the arrangements in the studio.

"Metcalf's solo debut is exquisite, its beauty both on the surface and further down - his reedy, emotive voice rests atop intricate instrumentation, full of flickering strings, plucked guitars and dry percussion - making songs like the gorgeous title track or Ein Berliner lodge firmly in the mind." - Preston Jones, Fort Worth Star-Telegram
