Jake Sherman
Born in Boston, Jake Sherman learned classical piano by listening to his father play Bach every morning. If not for an intervention—stumbling upon the catalog of Weird Al Yankovic at 11 years old—he would have followed in his father’s path or perhaps become a jazz purist. But Weird Al changed everything. Jake started a parody band and sang his newly-written lyrics to classics like “All Star” by Smashmouth and “Men in Black” by Will Smith, along with composing new family classics such as “Amy, You’re Turning 49” and “Charles, Charles Sherman.”
Fast forward some years beyond his time studying at Berklee College of Music and it’s clear Jake has found a way to combine his appreciation of great songwriting with his piano/organ-playing prowess

Cyrille Aimée: À Fleur de Peau
by Katchie Cartwright
Like other parts of Cyrille Aimée's musical journey (her time spent learning “gypsy jazz" with Manouche Romani people in Samois-sur-Seine, for example), À Fleur de Peau (Hypersensitive) has an engaging tale attached. In 2018, on a visit to the Costa Rican jungle at a pivotal moment in her personal life, Aimée was inspired to write “Inside ...
Jake Sherman Gets Sexy
by Leo Sidran
Jake Sherman is everywhere at once and yet somehow maintains a certain air of mystery. There he is singing romantic '80s inspired jams. Here he comes making a jazz Hammond organ record at Dizzy's Club and jamming with Larry Goldings. Don't look now but he's hanging out in LA with his friends in Scary Pockets, or ...
Ralph Peterson: ALIVE at Firehouse12 Vol. 1 - The Unity Project

The band on ALIVE At ...
