ABOUT THE ARTIST
Stephen Jacques is a Charlottesville-based singer-songwriter whose alt-rock ballads cut straight to the heart. A seasoned storyteller with a sharp ear for melody, Stephen’s music is rooted in real life, the kind shaped by decades of hands-on experience and creative reinvention. With twelve albums under his belt and collaborations with producers like Steve Albini, his work has found airplay on over 300 radio stations and podcasts around the globe.
Before devoting himself fully to music, Stephen lived many lives as an engineer, Hollywood actor, custom builder, and television host, each chapter feeding the depth and authenticity of his songwriting. Born into a musical lineage spanning New Orleans and New York, his sound is a fusion of punk-edged grit and timeless rock, colored by family roots and long nights spent learning Beatles chords on a borrowed guitar.
