Jake Dwyer @ Gypsy Circus Cider

Jake Dwyer is a country, folk, and blues artist rooted in the heart of Appalachia. His sound blends vintage blues rock tones with heartfelt songwriting and a steady roots groove. Based in Jonesborough, Tennessee, Jake delivers raw and soulful vocals that carry stories with both emotional weight and musical grit. His style draws natural comparisons to Neil Young and The Band, with a modern touch that hints at Gary Clark Jr. and The Black Keys, yet his voice and vision remain entirely his own.

His band released their debut album Late in 2022, followed by the introspective Driving Thoughts EP in 2023. In 2024 they released Opportunity, an album that expanded their sound and helped secure their place in the modern Southern roots scene. Their newest release, Snake Pit (2025), leans fully into their blues and roots sensibilities. It is a raw and road-worn collection built on storytelling, deep groove, and the unvarnished spirit of Southern music traditions.
Jake has toured extensively, and performed at notable venues across the country including The Pour House in Charleston, Pete’s Candy Store in Brooklyn, Brown’s Diner in Nashville, and his hometown series Music On The Square in Jonesborough. His music has been featured on Americana Highways, WBCM Radio Bristol, and the legendary WSM 650 Grand Ole Opry radio.
