“I love my RB Oxford Acoustic Bag! It protects my vintage guitar while I trek across campus in all kinds of weather. It doesn’t take up much space because it stands up on its own, plus it’s light weight without sacrificing quality padding and structure. I’m super happy with the zipper pouch because it’s sturdy enough to carry my songwriting notebooks, cords, loop pedal and other equipment.”
As a young singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Aspen Jacobsen aspires to emotionally touch people through her lyrics and soulful voice. Her music has been described as folk-pop, alternative country, and Americana.
Aspen’s music career started at 9 years old, busking for tips singing pop songs with her little red ukulele. She earned enough money to purchase her first guitar and began writing her own music. After performing at Wheatland Music Festival’s open mic, Aspen was awarded a scholarship to study traditional folk music. Through their continued support, she has learned flatpicking guitar and mandolin. She also plays a little slide guitar, fiddle, bass and piano.
Aspen has played many major music festivals in Michigan including Arts Beats and Eats, Wheatland Music Festival, Earthworks Harvest Gathering and the Buttermilk Jamboree. She has also been an opener at Michigan's premier listening rooms like The Ark, 20 Front Street, Trinity House and the Grand Rapids Listening Room. Aspen was featured in the Radio DJ Showcase at the Folk Alliance Region Midwest annual conference.
In 2020, two songs from her latest album 'Love Each Other Right' were finalists in prominent songwriting competitions. The song "Georgia Boy" was one of five nominees in the Independent Music Awards; Alternative Country Best Song Category. Additionally, the song “Delicate Butterfly” was a semi-finalist in the International Songwriting Competition Teen Category. She was also awarded a scholarship to attend the Singer-Songwriter program at the Interlochen Arts Academy, one of the most prestigious boarding fine arts high schools in the United States.
