Jake Kolesar (born November 15, 1996) is a singer-songwriter from Cincinnati, Ohio. He has made various appearances in local gigs, and will be playing in the acoustic division of the Bunbury Music Festival at Sawyer Point in Cincinnati. He states that his music is heavily inspired by the earlier part of Bob Dylan’s career. Among his influences are Dylan, Bright Eyes, Fleet Foxes, Crosby, Stills, and Nash, and many more. He claims that his music falls under the “Folk/Rock” category, but he has also frequently performed Blues and Pop. His original songs have remarkably thoughtful themes for his age, and often contain complex melodies with layered harmonies that mimic the arrangements of his influences. He is able to play several different instruments, but he predominantly plays guitar. Recently, Jake was proclaimed the winner of two talent competitions organized by the Cincinnati Arts Association.
