“No student of the Canadian music scene can consider themselves ready for graduation until they have contemplated the impact of Big Rude Jake.
…A gifted songwriter.”
– Indiecan.com
“Jake’s voice is an elastic instrument able to croon, talk, snarl, and seduce as the material merits, bringing a mutant mix of Damon Runyon, Johnny Rotten, and Mose Allison to his witty, erudite tunes.”
– Boston Phoenix
“A Big Rude Genius.”
– Pittsburgh Weekly, Pittsburgh, PA
“Big Rude Jake creates larger-than-life tales of woe, seamy streets, and loud characters. Giving a nod to old-school blues characters, he writes more in the vein of Tom Waits or Nick Cave, creating world-weary, witty characters who can’t resist commenting on the irony of their situations.”
– All Music Guide
“Truly a student of jazz and its related folk and literary traditions, Jake infuses (his) musical creations with vivid stories …tinged with dark irony, humor, and contemporary heartache.”
– Theresa LaVeck, All Music Guide
