Pi Jacobs draws inspiration from her unconventional upbringing in Northern California, where she was raised by “radical hippies, bohemians and nerds”. She is signed to LA’s Blackbird Record Label, and her new album, “Soldier On” is out now. Produced by Eric Corne (John Mayall,), The album features Pi’s long-time collaborators Buch Norton (Lucinda Williams,Tracy Chapman) and Zack and Adam Hall (Billy Ray Cyrus). The album was in the top 100 of the Americana Music Association Chart for over 4 four months in 2024, with ten weeks in the Top 50! Live, Pi’s style blends roots-rock swagger and storytelling soul, that has drawn comparisons to Tom Waits, Dolly Parton, and Lucinda Williams. Armed with an old Gibson guitar, her “sultry” (Claremont Courier) and “explosive” (Glide) voice, and a homemade stomp box, she creates a show that is a “mesmerizing” (Americana Highways).In the words of San Luis Obispo’s New Times, “Jacobs' can be funny, poignant, and irreverent, but always personal. She might not heal you, but you'll forget your problems for a few hours” . Pi’s music has been heard on NPR, DittyTV, Austin Music TV, Americana Highways, American Songwriter Magazine, and regularly on radio tastemakers KCSN (LA) WMOT (Nashville) and WFUV (NYC), and stations globally. " Greats like Dolly Parton and Kris Kristofferson, she belongs in their company.” Rock and Blues Muse "Divorce…whiskey…legal problems…cheaters…lies. Whatever comes next, it's gonna be a good story.” Twangville
