Jake & Taylor Armerding

“The most gifted and promising songwriter to emerge from the Boston folk scene in years.” Boston Globe

Jake & Taylor Armerding return to The Community House performing on Saturday, May 16 @ 7:30pm.

It was the early 1980s when Boston bluegrasser Taylor Armerding, co-founder of the band Northern Lights, started his 5-year-old son, Jake, on Suzuki violin. Jake studied classical violin into high school and absorbed bluegrass just by being around the house. At 13, he joined Northern Lights on fiddle and recorded three albums with the band during his high school and college years. He soon turned his attention to songwriting, and recorded his first CD, Caged Bird, while at Wheaton College (IL). In 2003, Nashville independent label Compass released Jake Armerding, a collection of folk-pop songs written over a year living in Music City. The Washington Post lauded Armerding’s instrumental skills as “remarkable,” while the Boston Globe heralded him “a master at bending boundaries ... his real achievement has been to break the conventions that define country music.”
