Jared Place is a singer-songwriter from Waterloo, Iowa, now based outside Raleigh, North Carolina. Known for his powerful live performances, he creates music that feels less like something you hear and more like something you experience.

Influenced by Gregory Alan Isakov, Ben Howard, and Fleet Foxes, his sound lives between indie, alternative, and atmospheric folk, grounded in emotion but never overworked.

There’s a rawness to his music that doesn’t try to smooth itself out. It’s reflective, patient, and quietly intense. The kind of music that creeps in slowly. Late-night drives. Lingering memories. That strange mix of comfort and ache you can’t quite explain.

His debut album Timelines, releasing June 16, 2026, captures that space fully. A body of work shaped by time, distance, and everything that refuses to be forgotten. Off stage, Jared spends his time at home with his wife and son or outdoors, where the stillness tends to say more than anything else.
