Jake Simon and Blake Jack – Brooklyn, IA

In September of 2022, two bands looking for a new start came together to create Blake Jack + South 35. Together they are a high-energy party band that plays mostly country cover tunes, but brings the feeling of a rock concert. Their set list includes everything from classic Brooks & Dunn and Garth Brooks, to modern Jason Aldean and Eric Church. All the while, they’ll throw in a few rock staples from Guns N’ Roses and AC/DC, along with some of their own originals. With this variety, Blake Jack + South 35 definitely has something for everyone! Led by Blake’s powerful vocals, the band specializes in creating an entertaining show that involves plenty of fan interaction. With Adam on bass, Christian on guitar, Dave on lead guitar, and Travis on drums, they put on a professional performance that makes for a very memorable night.

“Small-town road warrior” Jake Simon, a 25 year old originally from central IA, made his debut to country radio with “I Still Think About You” hitting as a Top 40 single on the Music Row Country Breakout chart. Peaking at #26, the debut single is just the start of his young career. He followed that release with singles “Find Me on a Dirt Road” and “West Coast Kiss”. You can now stream his newest single “Night She Left” everywhere!

Jake went to the University of Northern Iowa and started a band. For two years he juggled school and music, until it became obvious school was not the route for him. The band was playing three shows a week while being full-time students. Some people could do both but the obvious choice for Jake was to ditch school. That choice led to national radio play, opening for national artists in front of thousands of people, and even national headlining shows for himself.
