Getting Older EP
Jan 30, 2025
Recorded and produced in my Brooklyn apartment, my third EP Getting Older brings me back to my acoustic roots. It opens with an ironic take on aging from a 25 year old who just found their first gray hair, inappropriately titled ‘Older.’ And then it's off to the races (acoustically speaking). Check it out on Apple Music and Spotify here!

Last Respects EP Out Now!
May 26, 2023
It's finally out! After over a year of development, writing, recording, producing, etc. and then the last few months of releases, my new EP Last Respects is officially out! 5 songs chronicling love, loss, self reflection, ripped pants, Miyazaki movies, European countries that have very little to do with anything else, you get the point. I'd love for you to listen on Spotify, Apple Music, wherever else!
Young Hero is not usually a stand-out role, but he is here. True, he has some of the better Sondheim songs, and Jacob Shipley manages dewy innocence, affability and a sweet fulsome tenor; the addition of a guitar to the Rodgers & Hart styled “Love, I Hear” is an adroit touch.
-The Ithaca Times
“Endearing… Highly Engaging… Jacob superbly touches on feelings of anxiety, frustration, confusion, and isolation."
"As Jack, Jacob Shipley has boundless energy, fine dance skills and an impressive singing voice. He also brings abundant boyish charm to the role, and a fine sense of comedy."
-The Baltimore Sun
