Biggest gig yet!

Aug 27

2023 has been the best year of my career!

First, I hope you’ve all had a great summer bumping my new EP “Open Tabs At Empty Bars”!

Second, I recently got to live a dream come true by performing at the Vermont State Fair. I opened up for country recording artist Jake Owen and entertained a crowd of 1000+ Vermonters!

Being able to step onto the stage knowing I’ve earned the right through hard work and dedication was a feeling of confidence and pride I haven’t felt before. Being from Wallingford, Vermont I will always feel a very special bond to that area and the people that live there. As much as Nashville is home to me now, Vermont will always be the place that understands me. We’re both built on perseverance. Long winters and short summers make you grateful for every minute you get in a month like August. For my first big gig to be the place that I’m from is beyond words. Jake and his team were so generous and accommodating. This business is full of highs and lows and I can say this was one of the highest moments I’ve gotten to experience!

Check out a short highlight reel of my Vermont State Fair show on my YouTube channel now. Shout out to my talented friend, John Nilsen for capturing the moment!

Lastly, in honor of my gig with Jake Owen, I’m doing a special GIVEAWAY!

The first eight people to buy Jacob Rice merchandise will receive a signed photograph from my “Open Tabs at Empty Bars” photoshoot! All merchandise purchases will also automatically enter you into a random name pull with two winners receiving signed Nashville numbers studio sheets from my recording session earlier this year.
