Northern Californian & singer/songwriter, Jack Symes started his musical journey at 6 years old. From a desire to play drums to begrudgingly learning some guitar… ultimately learning both, becoming a music director at surrounding summer camps and then attending college in Berkeley, CA.
Jack Symes & The River House, recorded straight to tape over eight days in a cabin with a group of creative musicians(now known as The River House Band), is confirmation to the chemistry and camaraderie of the artists involved. “The River House” takes a unique approach, with production taking a backseat to spontaneity and musicians simply playing, eye contact, and letting the music flow. This organic approach allowed the carefully selected musicians, including Rob Shelton, Steven van Betten, Gregory Ackerman, John Fatum, and Jack Symes himself, to open their minds and create a memorable musical experience.
The album’s diverse content, ranging from storytelling ballads to experimental numbers and piano-driven pop ditties, evokes a certain mood that fills the air. With no headphones in sight and a few bottles of wine, the recording process seems to have captured the essence of the moment, resulting in an authentic and engaging musical journey for listeners.
