Jake Houlsby

Jake Houlsby is a British singer-songwriter from Newcastle. Having previously released material under the guise of Suntrapp, Jake stepped out of the limelight six months ago to consider his artistic direction and is now ready to return and release music under his own name. The folkster has gained widespread acclaim in the last few years with national radio airplay on BBC 6 Music courtesy of Lauren Laverne and Tom Robinson as well as considerable blog coverage on the likes of The 405, For Folk’s Sake and The Mad Mackerel. In 2013, Jake was also the proud recipient of the Alan Hull Award for Songwriting in addition to being selected for the Roundhouse 3030 Project which saw him perform at the Roundhouse Rising Festival. The talented folk musician has clearly honed his craft on the live scene and is ready to kick off this new phase of his career with a series of live shows dedicated to debut release ‘Yannina’. The six-track EP will feature tracks including title track ‘Yannina’, ‘Fuel For The Fire’ and ‘Beyond All This’ and promises to show a side to him we’ve never seen before. Read more on Last.fm.
