Jared McCloud's natural, earthy tone and thought provoking lyrics showcase his talent and ability to draw his audiences into his story. Starting his musical career in "Hard Rock" bands, Jared decided to go solo, & released a self produced record while playing all over Connecticut to promote it. Honing his skill in small venues and coffee houses, Jared grew his fan base and wowed large music halls with his performances. Picked up by Sling Slang Records in 2008, he began touring all over the Northeast as well as performing on radio and television. More recently McCloud released his latest record and put together a live band to further enforce his vision.
