Jacob Furr is a songwriter, multi instrumentalist, and educator from Fort Worth Texas.
His work blends West Coast folk with the dusty expanses of West Texas, and explores themes and stories of love, loss, grief, and recovery. He has toured the US since 2014. Furr has opened for Peter Case, Shovels and Rope, Devotchka, and Over The Rhine, among others.
He won the Bluelight Live Songwriting Competition in 2015, Forth Worth Weekly “Best Songwriter” 2015, “Best Folk Artist” 2023.
Though Furr’s most significant work is a three album cycle over 10 years about the loss of his wife to brain cancer in 2013, His songwriting paints pictures of thunderstorms on the Llano Estacado, cemeteries of lost life boat sailors in California, and the intimate feelings and details of recovery and healing. All of these stories and themes are blended into songs that range from towering electric anthems of lost stars, to intimate, solo work that recalls Bert Jansch and early Joh Ritter.

The Fort Worth Pedal Show
Welcome to "The Fort Worth Pedal Show", or as we like to call it, The Rig Letdown", where I'll be interviewing my friends from around DFW about the pedals they use to create their unique sounds!
First up is my friend Kevin Aldridge, currently of the band, Hotel Satellite. I wanted to interview Kevin first because he has the most extensive pedal board I know of, and his passion for creating tone is only matched by his skill as a songwriter. I hope you enjoy this long form video if you're into guitar pedals and how they help paint these songs.
Next up will be my friend Grady Spencer and his at-home Ambient loop groove machine pedal board.
If you would like to support these videos, you can sign up on my Patreon where I share my original music as well as videos on guitar playing, songwriting, and various aspects of creativity within that realm.

This is a new song of mine that sort of came to me in a dream. The full story of its inception is over on my patreon. Just a simple love story set in my hometown of Fort Worth after WWII. We had a B24 factory and the radio station that played the Barn Dance that was the precursor to The Grand Ole Opry. Sign up for next months song here: www.patreon.com/c/jacobfurrmusic

Blake’s Song
มุมมอง 1115 หลายเดือนก่อน
“Blakes Song” Wrote this after attempting to get into William Blake’s Poetry because Bob Dylan said that was his main influence in some Rolling Stone interview. I didn’t get far, but that’s my fault, not Blakes. One of the poems I did enjoy at the time was titled “To The Maid Of The Morning” and I sort of stole that idea and put my own spin on it. Don’t tell William. Years later, I have learned...

Stunning work, Jacob! Thank you for breathing such new life into an absolute classic. I've seen you perform this at sessions and the Rose Chapel with Pat Byrne, and it always takes my breath away.

Beautiful light guitar tune; heavy lyric; total effect masterful. Thank you, Jacob.
This is a fabulous cover of such a great song Jacob and your vocal delivery and guitar accompaniment is top drawer. Your voice and natural story-telling intonation is reminiscent of a favourite singer/songwriter of mine (Ewen Carruthers). If you haven't heard of him you can hear one of his songs here: th-cam.com/video/ZEgtP_iaM_I/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for introducing me to Ewens music!
@@jacobfurrmusicHe was a very popular performer in folk clubs here in the UK; a lovely modest man who really knew how to hold an audience - a natural story-teller through his songs. I have covered a few of his songs, including Radio-Dancer, Peach Orchard and Rubenstein Remembers among my favourites. I hope you like his songs too.
Hey Jacob great cover! Have you ever heard of Christy moored version of this song. If not you should ! It’s my favourite
Thats actually where I first heard it! How great is his version?!
Another Great Song by the “Bob Dylan” of Fort Worth; @jacobfurrmusic !!! 🎉🍾🎼🎤🎸
