Being Alive

Through a dynamic blend of song and storytelling, Jake shares the highs and lows of his journey—from star-spangled beginnings, an NFL family to the theater stage—navigating the industry and adolescence through COVID-19, embracing the joys (and awkwardness) of growing up in the business, and reflecting on life as he confidently steps into a new chapter of college, career, and beyond.
With riveting, vulnerable, and soul-stirring music, Being Alive is a heartfelt farewell before he takes flight into the world—one final encore for the places, spaces, and community that shaped him.

Don’t miss this unforgettable night of music, laughter, and reflection.
