Thin of hair but flush of beard, j gano is a perpetual dabbler who puts his thoughts to guitar while the kids are in bed. He writes songs about the mystery of existence, friendship, the experience of time, and fatherhood - particularly as it relates to those things. He likes good oolong in a gong fu pot, morels and porcinis, spiders and bugs.

Jake has released music under the name Human BandFest 2042. His friends tell him that's an impossible band name to remember.
