These staples, still some of his friends’ favorites, eventually inspired him to pick up a pen and start putting some thoughts to music.He loves to engage a crowd and make people laugh by saying just about anything that pops into his mind. The more ridiculous, the better. People book Jake or walk into Tootsie’s for a beer, and before they know it, have spent hours with a true entertainer.For questions, contact Josh Schnetzler at joshs2@fivepointswashington.org or (309) 444-8299 Ext. 21.Thank you event sponsors: MTCO digiMAX, UFTRING AUTO GROUP, and WASHINGTON COMMUNITY BANK.
