Secret Sessions: Jack Symes

Inspired by folk-esque artists like Ryan Adams and Mason Jennings, Jack Symes creates a unique blend of acoustic and indie-folk ballads packed with lyrics that will have one laughing one minute and crying like a frickin’ baby the next. A singer and songwriter from Los Angeles, Jack Symes relocated up to Berkeley and dipped into the Bay Area folk scene until 2017 when he returned home to Southern California. Symes released his debut EP Gargoyles in December 2016 and followed up with his single Roll Me Away in early 2017. His music has since garnered over 400,000 streams on Spotify in over 70 countries.
