Jake Minch

Jake Minch is a songwriter’s songwriter on the rise, turning deeply personal stories of love, growing up and grief into songs already championed by some of music’s most compelling artists. The Connecticut-born singer-songwriter broke out in 2023 with his hit single “handgun,” whose initial teaser racked up 1.3 million views. Since then, he has built a devoted fanbase, with early co-signs from Noah Kahan, Lizzy McAlpine, Gigi Perez, Zach Bryan, Gracie Abrams and FLETCHER. Oscar-nominated actor Paul Mescal also named Minch one of his “cultural essentials” in a recent New Yorker interview.

In July 2025, Minch released his highly anticipated debut album George, co-produced with acclaimed producer Tony Berg (Phoebe Bridgers, Taylor Swift), with contributions from Mason Stoops (Lizzy McAlpine, ROLE MODEL). Written between Los Angeles and Connecticut, the 12-track project explores grief, guilt and identity through the lens of Minch’s early twenties, capturing the angst and disorientation of leaving home with striking vulnerability. The album has received widespread acclaim from outlets including NPR Music, Stereogum, The Line of Best Fit and Ones to Watch, with TMRW Magazine declaring, “Jake Minch is Your Favorite Songwriter’s Songwriter,” while Holler calls the record a “Great American Novel” cut into pop songs. His songwriting has also resonated with Phoebe Bridgers, who gave Jake a nod on her critically acclaimed 2026 album Lost Weekend for a line shared between her song “Panorama” and his “Twice.”

Minch has toured the world over, sharing stages with The Head and the Heart, Jeremy Zucker, Ben Abraham, Holly Humberstone, Grace Enger, Sadie Jean and Joshua Slone. He recently wrapped a successful two-part North American headline tour in support of George. This November, he’ll headline his Getting Big Tour and return to the road with Slone for a November 4 show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. In May 2027, he’ll support Gracie Abrams on select dates of her European tour.
