Bridgeport, CT-based but born and raised on Long Island, NY in 1998, Jared Sage Cowen has been immersed in music from an early age. At just four years old, Cowen picked up the guitar for the first time. His passion was immediate, quickly progressing from half-hour lessons to full-hour sessions. By grade school, his talent was undeniable, performing in numerous ensembles and forming bands that played in local bars and nightclubs while still in high school.
During his time at SUNY Oneonta, Cowen studied under Spyro Gyra founding member Jeremy Wall, and went on to found the band Baked Shrimp. Over seven years, the band became a staple in the music festival scene, performing at renowned festivals such as Peach Music Festival, Summer Camp Music Festival, and Northlands Live. Sharing bills with legends like Willie Nelson, My Morning Jacket, and Ween, Baked Shrimp quickly became a touring powerhouse, performing over 400 shows across the United States and internationally.
In the Fall of 2023, Cowen decided to put Baked Shrimp on indefinite hiatus. However, the following year brought a new chapter as Cowen moved across the Long Island Sound to follow the sound of the ever-expanding Black Rock, Connecticut music scene. Over the Spring and Summer of 2024, Cowen formed various new projects, sat in with countless musicians, and performed over sixty live shows, becoming a fixture in the community.
Cowen will head back to the road to promote his new album in the Spring and Summer of 2025 with an extensive tour showcasing new editions of the Jared Sage Band throughout the Mid-West and South! As he looks ahead, his passion for music, performance, and event curation promises to keep him at the forefront of the jam band scene.
