ABOUT AMERICAN MILE

American Mile is more than just a band—they’re a touring beast, Southern-rock torchbearers, and storytellers of the real American grind. An embodiment of road-dog grit, American Mile is keeping Southern rock alive, loud, and unstoppable. Hailing from Los Angeles but rooted deeply in Southern rock, these sonic nomads hit nearly 200 shows a year, burning the midnight oil from coast to coast. With a sound that blends Aerosmith’s firepower, The Black Crowes’ edge, and Chris Stapleton’s soul, the Los Angeles-based band delivers a high-energy mix of country grit and rock-and-roll swagger that’s as authentic as it is electrifying. Their latest album, American Dream, produced by Grammy-nominated Keith Nelson (Buckcherry) and Bruce Witkin, captures the highs and lows of chasing music in modern America. New Noise Magazine praised it as “unyielding country-rock that documents what it actually costs to chase musical dreams,” while Glide Magazine called it “swaggering and soulful rock and roll energy.” But it’s the stage where American Mile truly comes alive. With blistering harmonies, searing guitars, and sweat-soaked energy, they’ve built a reputation as one of the hardest-hitting live bands on the road today. From the studio’s soulful reflections to the stage’s full-throttle energy, they deliver a relentless pulse that keeps them—and their fans—rolling full speed ahead.

ABOUT JAKE JACOBSEN

Country music has always been about knowing exactly who you are — and Jake Jacobson does. Born in Reno, Nevada and raised in a small logging and ranching town, country wasn’t a trend, it was a way of life. Just like his music today, Jacobson grew up on steel guitar, shuffle beats, and songs that meant something. The soundtrack of his childhood wasn’t chasing charts — it was Brooks & Dunn, Keith Whitley, and Randy Travis blasting through the speakers. Prior to stepping into a writing room, he was a world-class athlete chasing big dreams under bright lights. But when the pressure mounted, it wasn’t a crowd that steadied him — it was country music. Long before Nashville ever called, Jacobson was on stage singing with his dad and studying the craft of real country music — heartbreak, redemption, and hard-earned truth. Now, making the jump to Music City, Jacobson is part of a new wave bringing traditional country back to the forefront — not as reminiscent thought, but as a standard. After cutting his teeth on the road opening for Randall king, Clay Walker, and more, he built a reputation as a baritone vocalist with grit, conviction, and a sound rooted firmly in country’s most timeless era. In 2026, he steps fully into his defining chapter with the release of his debut full-length album later this year — a record that refuses to chase trends and instead leans hard into pedal steel, honkytonk heaters, and songs that cut deep. The first single, How Honky Tonk Are You, says it plain. Swagger and dancehall confidence collide in a track built for two-stepping and neon lights. It’s not a costume. It’s not nostalgia. It’s who he is at his core. In a time of experimentation and blurred lines, Jake Jacobson doubles down and draws one in the dirt.
