Jacob Miller @ Sean Hayes | Jacob Miller @ Polaris Hall
Sean Hayes is a Bay Area singer-songwriter who makes music to dance to or cry to, or maybe both at the same time. He was born in New York City, raised in North Carolina, and honed his earliest musical chops in a band playing Irish and old-time tunes — but his unique style of deeply felt, R&B-inflected folk really matured during his two decades singing and playing in cafes, bars, and night clubs of San Francisco.
His voice layers wonder and heartache upon grit and gravel, sex and soul. His lyrics carry an unpretentious wisdom. He’s dueted with Aimee Mann; been covered by the Be Good Tanyas; and toured with Anais Mitchell (performing songs from Hadestown, before it was an award-winning Broadway show). His songs have appeared on NPR, NBC and HBO.
Jacob Miller
Jacob Miller is an artist that creates with intention and integrity. Preferring lyrical precision over flashy production, Miller’s skillful yet effortless guitar style serves as a modern take on the established yet expansive genre of Singer-Songwriter. With unusual candor and intent, Miller stands apart for his thoughtful musicality and timeless sound.
Writing music from the age of 13, gigging heavily in different bands and even working as a farm hand while studying the regional sound throughout North America, Miller’s culmination of experiences have embedded themselves in his musical stylings. In this way, his style is a reflection of his learnings, creating an approachable nature while balancing subtle sophistication. Garnering praise while performing for NBC’s “The Voice” in 2020, Nick Jonas said Miller is “connected to every word he sings” and James Taylor admitted that the aspiring artist has “really got something.”
Drawing in fans from around the world, Miller is known for his passion and authenticity. His sophomore release, Around My Head establishes a fresh take on his abilities as a songwriter, performer, composer and bandleader.
