David W. Jacobsen performs and records a diverse range of music. His lyrics include humorous stories and anecdotes as well as serious commentary and musings on social and psychological concerns. He performs live accompanying himself on acoustic guitar and entertaining his audiences with an amusing banter.
His recent albums start in the acoustic songwriting genre, but branch out to include synth driven pop, guitar heavy rock, and difficult to classify experimentation. His newest album, Footprints, deals with obsession and mortality through both humorous and melancholy, acoustic songwriting. Some songs present funny and cynical looks at being rejected. Other songs are honest tales of unrequited love. Some songs are humorous existential rants. Others probe for a positive reason to get through the day.
David W. Jacobsen has been writing and performing music for over fifteen years. He studied at Berklee College of Music and has both an excellent understanding of music theory as well as the good sense not to use it. His album Footprints was voted the top 10th album of 2005 by Upstage Magazine. His song "Christmas in Jersey City" received an honor award in the Great American Song Contest. He has recorded over ten albums on his Zbokth Productions label and is currently recording his next release. An official discography provides additional information on his work.
