Jack Symes

**Jack Symes** is a Bay Area-based singer-songwriter known for his warm, storytelling-driven indie-folk tunes and laid-back charm. With a knack for weaving intimate, conversational lyrics into cozy melodies, Symes crafts songs that feel like catching up with an old friend—whether he’s reflecting on life’s quirks in tracks like “Kinda Funny” or diving into heartfelt themes on “Forgiveness.” His music often blends acoustic warmth with a touch of wry humor, anchored by his distinct, earthy vocals and a DIY ethos that resonates with fans of relatable, narrative-driven songwriting.

Symes has built a catalog that includes both introspective originals and playful collaborations, like the twangy “Silver Dollar / I’ll Be There For You” and the rootsy *Jack Symes & the River House*, which highlights his collaborative spirit. He’s also embraced seasonal vibes with cheerful holiday covers like “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” and “Silent Night,” showcasing his versatility. Whether he’s spinning tales of small-town nostalgia (“Carlos-by-the-Sea”) or strumming through bittersweet ballads (“Daisy”), Symes’ music feels like a cozy campfire session—a mix of vulnerability, wit, and unfiltered humanity that’s cemented his place in the modern indie-folk scene.
