Twenty-two year old JAKE CLAYTON is known for his friendly face and his kind heart, but he is even more well known for his phenominal fiddle playing and his extraordinary stage presence. JAKE was born in Mexico, Missouri on February 2, 1986 to a loving family that welcomed him with open arms. He is loved by many, but none more than his own family. He was the missing part that added perfect harmony to the Clayton clan. The entire family has always been very musical, but never to the highest level of JAKE's abilities. He has taught his family the true meaning of musical harmony. Jake has been performing for more than 5 years and has already proven himself to be one of the best fiddle players in the music business, but what is more extraordinary than that is his willingness to learn even more about music, and the instruments that he plays, every single day. Did I mention....JAKE plays 25 different instruments.....everything from the fiddle, guitar, banjo, dobro, and the list goes on. JAKE has taught himself each and every one of them. No lessons....No books.....No videos.....every instrument he learned, just by picking it up and playing by ear. He has also taught himself how to read, and write music. JAKE is also a producer. He records, and produces for himself, and others in his own studios. He really does eat, sleep, and breathe music.
