Jack Summers - Weston Missouri's Song Farmer
from Tasty Brew Music · host Diana Linn
You’ll hear my origin story with Missouri’s native son Jack Summers in this episode of the Tasty Brew Music podcast… a story with a familiar path. My introduction comes by way of plugged in Heartland music tastemaker Mike Paget of the Green Guitar Folk House Series. As a Boomer and lifelong lover of the craft of songwriting, my pantheon includes John Prine, Neil Young and Bob Dylan, of course. Although sonically the comparisons may seem appropriate, the lyrical content and points of interest in Jack’s songs are unique to him while being very relatable. Ironically, unlike most members of his 20-something/Millennial/Gen Z generation Jack foregoes a robust online presence but for Instagram and his website jacksummersmusic.com. It can be a bit of challenge to find him on the internet. Jack is putting in the work. Generally a sole practitioner, he has dabbled in collabs and as a Kerrville Music Festival songwriting competition winner, he takes the lyrical life seriously. With the support and guidance from his family and song farmers like Mary Gauthier, the desire to create is there and I believe his aim to be true. Enjoy this late Fall 2024 conversation and musical performance. Good stuff from Weston, Missouri’s Jack Summers.
