Jake is a versatile and outgoing bassist who never shies away from being himself on stage. 

In addition to bass, his talents extend to guitar, mandolin, providing backup vocals and collaborating with his bandmates in the writing process of the bands original content.  

As an eccentric funk-rock  enthusiast, his most notable influence is the Red Hot Chili Peppers but he doesn't refrain from mixing genres, which helps bring variety and uniqueness to Crescendo's Gate's music. 

Outside of music, Jake has been an avid mentor to local youth and is currently a chess teacher at an after school program in Boston.
