Jake Ingamar is a singer-songwriter and musical artist from Fargo, ND. He got his initial start by playing in local jam bands throughout college and accompanying local artists playing pedal steel guitar when he was in his late teens (even playing the Whisky a Go Go in Hollywood when he was 20 years old). Since then, he’s had the opportunity to open for Parker Millsap, Sawyer Fredericks, Dead Horses, and the sold out Band of Horses concert last July.

In the fall of 2018, Jake received a grant of $2,500 by The Arts Partnership and Jade Presents to help fund his own professionally-recorded album in 2019.
