"Born in Oregon but constantly on the move, Ryan T. Jacobs lives the style of an old-school minstrel, landing where the wind takes him until the next big gust comes along. Jacobs has played all over Europe, lived in France for a time and now calls Berlin home. His debut EP, "The Places You Might Have Gone," covers universal concepts such as love, loss, loneliness, family and friends. With a style that walks the Dylan line somewhere between Neil Young and Damien Rice, Jacobs will seem instantly familiar to many listeners."

Der Umsiedlung zum Trotz klingt sein Album "The Places You Might Have Gone" durch und durch amerikanisch und fischt im großen Indie-Folk-Teich nach Juwelen. Genre-bedingt klingt das nicht unbedingt aufregend, aber in Ryans Fall spannender als vieles was seine Schubladen-Kollegen auftischen. Ob verschmuste Balladen oder verspulte Liebeslieder, wer mal wieder einem ordentlichen Singer/Songwriter lauschen möchte - Ryan is your man. "
