Jake McVey: Paper Jams

In honor of the first day of the 99th annual Mississippi Valley Fair, country artist Jake McVey stopped by the Quad-City Times newsroom. The Burlington, Iowa native and current resident of Nashville, Tennessee sings like a pop-country purist with lyrics shouting out Templeton Rye whiskey, John Deere tractors and a tune all about falling in love at a red light. Even in an acoustic setting, he is also a true performer asking, after two songs, if the small crowd of Quad-City Times staffers would like to hear another one. A viewer on Facebook Live chimed in with an enthusiastic, "Yeeeaaah!" McVey and his bandmates were in town to play the fair and had a busy stretch of shows ahead of them including a stop at the Ohio State Fair in Columbus as well as a set at Big Grove Brewery in Iowa City. On his way out, McVey said he'd surely be back in the "neighborhood" soon.
