Jacob Bryant - Topic

Jacob Bryant has proven himself to be one of country music's true outlaw singer-songwriters.  A hard-charging country rocker with a sound that blends the narrative aspects of country with the kick of southern-rock, the rural north Georgia native has earned his stripes shedding light on life's darkest corners, using a booming pure country baritone to enhance both music and message...But he's always filled his songs with compassion and empathy, not reckless abandon.  After battling depression and anxiety, self-medicating with alcohol and cocaine he ultimately suffered a heart attack at the age of just 19 - but transformed the pain into passion. Drawing on the music of heroes like Keith Whitley, George Jones, Travis Tritt and Lynyrd Skynyrd, he quit reaching for the the bottle and poured himself into songs...."It keeps me alive," Jacob says of his music.  Actually, that life-line has turned out to be more of a climbing rope. Bryant's self titled EP was released in 2014 with the standout THIS SIDE OF SOBER. The following year, a song he penned with Jon Lawhon from Black Stone Cherry, SAVE MY SOUL, was featured on the 'Through The Windshield' EP.  Building a fan base who appreciate gritty honesty, Bryant then hit the Top 10 of ITunes Country Albums Chart, placed his co-written 'Out There' on Luke Combs' 3 x platinum 'This One's For You' album in 2017, then turned heads with 'Practice What I Preach' in 2019. He released his recent album BAR STOOL PREACHER in February of 2022
