Jake Swamp & The Pine

Jake Swamp & The Pine

After turning heads at Greenwich Town Party and packing the Levitt Pavilion this summer, Jake Swamp & The Pine return to Fairfield for their FTC StageOne debut. Don’t miss one of New England’s rising folk-rock bands on one of the biggest Friday nights of the year.

Jake Swamp and the Pine craft songs that feel like coming home after a long hike — warm, reflective, and rooted in something real. Named after the tallest tree in Massachusetts and the environmentalist who inspired it, the band blends Americana, folk, and bluegrass with indie-pop sensibility and a deep love of the outdoors. Their debut album Simpson and Banks (2022) is a testament to where they started: a small Somerville apartment where memories, songs, and stories took shape. From foot-stomping hoedowns to slow-burning ballads, their live shows channel that same front-porch spirit — full of joy, connection, and emotional release. With atmospheric vocals, dynamic arrangements, and a sound praised by Americana UK and Country 102.5, Jake Swamp and the Pine invite you to unplug, lean in, and let the music carry you to higher ground.

For fans of: Noah Kahan, Zach Bryan, The Lone Bellow, Sons of the East

Sounds like: High-Energy Campfire Jams, harmony-laced Americana

Vibe: Powerful folk-rock anthems and fun sing-a-longs. Bring the family.

“Jake Swamp and the Pine was born to be heard live. You can feel the emotion in his guitar, and his vocals take you on winding journey, up and around bends of inflection. There’s sheer joy that resounds in the making of his craft. You can get all that just from listening to one song.” — Country 102.5
