Jacob Paul Allen

Gettin’ back

After a two-year stay in Nashville, Jacob Paul Allen returns to his Blue Ridge Mountain roots for an evening of his self-described “Appalachian red dirt” sound. The singer-songwriter flirts with outlaw country and dances with bluegrass, while leaning into ’90s and Americana sounds. Whether performing solo, or with his backing band The Flood, Allen is known for his captivating stage presence, stories, and banter. Come ready to hit the dance floor at this pub-style show.
