Jake Xerxes Fussell

Renowned as one of his generation’s preeminent interpreters of folk music, singer, guitarist, and composer Jake Xerxes Fussell draws from traditional music and archival field recordings – incorporating elements of songs from the past into new work.

Last summer saw the release of his fifth album, When I’m Called via Fat Possum to widespread acclaim, with The Wall Street Journal praising it as a “terrific argument for the power of the folk tradition, and a convincing demonstration of how much a thoughtful singer and musician can communicate through the words of others.”

His richest work to date, the new album sees Fussell return to a well of music that holds lifelong sentimental meaning, contemplating the passage of time and the procession of life’s unexpected offerings.
