The Windbreak

Indiana native Jake Dodds grew up listening to country music. Watching the Grand Ole Opry and Statler Brothers show Saturday nights on TNN with his grandparents. Growing up in the 90s it was Garth Brooks TV specials and listening to the likes of Tracy Lawrence, Tim McGraw and Tracy Byrd on the radio.

As high school approached it was Brad Paisley and Kenny Chesney that helped a shy kid through days of girls, sports (freshman football) and mowing yards.

Forever, a dreamer of being a country music singer, it wasn’t till after a growing karaoke obsession in southern Indiana lead to joining a band at 24 in the summer of 2012. Fast-forward 5 years and a lot has changed. Jake has opened shows for 25 national touring artists. Played over 130 + shows 3 years running and playing venues in 17 states across the US.
