Jacob Haller has been a fixture of the Rhode Island music scene for the past ten years, and has been frequently featured in popular shows such as AS220’s Empire Revue and Common Fence Point Music’s annual Gathering of Fiddlers & Fishermen. For this, his third album, he has brought together some of his favorite musicians to record songs on topics such as: Satan, relationships, kittens, exploding whales, criminal activity, coffee, loneliness, and time travel. The result is an eclectic mix of songs that will entertain and confuse you.

Praise for ‘Time To Break Up The Band’:

“With ‘Time To Break Up The Band’, Jacob does one of the hardest things a songwriter can attempt, and he does it successfully: he takes forms that seem familiar and imposes completely his own unique sensibility. The resulting songs are full of wry stories that take unexpected turns; they’re truly original, and they do not disappoint.” — Ian Fitzgerald, singer-songwriter

“A refreshingly light-hearted take on Blues and Folk music. Time To Break Up The Band gives you a nod and wink to accompany the foot tapping that ensues.” — The Blues Record

“If you’re a fan of Jacob Haller for his witty clever approach to lyrics, “Time To Break Up The Band” will not disappoint!” — Heather Rose

“Jacob Haller’s next album, after this one, I predict will be called ‘Quitting My Day Job’. A talented cast of characters both in Jacob’s head and outside of it have put to record a friendly bit of listening. The only thing that bothers me about this release is that I didn’t think to write ‘Fork In The Road’, you win this round Mr. Haller!” — Sonny Roelle, the Sentimental Favorites

Praise for Jacob Haller:

“Jacob Haller does music as though he were the secret love-child of Warren Zevon and Burl Ives, and while this is impossible, I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t let that stop him. Nor should you let it stop you. Enjoy the music!” — Jeffrey Channing Wells, “Skin Horse” co-author

“Providence musician Jacob Haller is as unique as his lyrics are clever.” — Annie Messier, Providence Daily Dose, May 10, 2012

“No one spins a tale more uniquely than Jacob Haller.” — Chris Conti, The Providence Phoenix, November 15, 2011

“If B.B. King and Weird Al Yankovic had a child, well…they probably wouldn’t admit to it. But it would definitely be Jacob Haller!” — Eddie Delta, Co-Host of The Blues Record podcast

“Jacob Haller is not only a talented musician and songwriter, he’s also a talented songwriter and musician.” — Harper Johnson, Co-Host of The Blues Record podcast
