Jake Clayton on SoundBetter

I'm a pro studio & touring musician/artist that specializes in multiple instruments and orchestra sections. I am a one stop shop for all of your overdub needs. I've worked for Country Music Legend Tanya Tucker for 16 years and am the featured fiddle, dobro, and steel player on her latest album "Live from the Troubadour".

Fiddle and Dobro tend to be my main instruments but I also have a list of others I can play on your recordings: Banjo, Lap Steel, Acoustic Guitar, Mandolin, Dulcimer, Ukulele, Piano, Pedal Steel, & Electric Guitars. I also do Orchestra sections that include Violin, Viola, and Cello. I am very proficient in Country Music but have done tracks for a wide range of styles that include Rock, Rap, Bluegrass, and more. My tracks are professionally engineered by my studio partner.

I get hired in Nashville a lot for Fiddle, Dobro, Acoustic Guitar, Steel, Cello, and Orchestra tracks.

I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.

Jake gave our group a great foot-stomping violin track. I think it is really special.

My man Jake is FREAKIN FANTASTIC haha! Super chill guy and just an incredible musician! We're definitely planning on using him again for our other projects, and I would totally recommend him to anybody for any project!

Jake was able to add just the right amount of steel to the song. Took my notes, and feedback and dialed in a great tone. Well done!

Total pro. Sent the guy a crappy demo and he made a record out if it. Great feel for the song, tone of the fiddle was rich and warm, guitar playing was spot on.

My wife agrees--money well spent!

Jake did two fiddle recordings and both sounds perfect . He's a professional musician and delivers on time.

Jake is a professional musician and he played the banjo on our song exactly the way we wanted. Will use him again.

Working with Jake was a breeze, and he is an incredible musician. The work on my track was stellar and will absolutely level up my song. Looking forward to working together again very soon!!

Jake is the best!! He works quickly to get the job done and it’s always done right! I’ve worked with him over and over on my tracks and he is always right on. Definitely my go to guy for all things multi- instrumental. Without him my music simply wouldn’t have the voice, vibe, or awesomeness that it does. He’s also a genuinely kind person, which is always a plus! 11/10 would recommend!

I asked Jake to play violin on a track and mandoline on another one. He nailed both first try! Thank you and see you on the next one

Absolutely outstanding work. Tracks were cut quickly and professionally. Jake even went the extra mile and sent me harmonies that I didn't even imagine. Really nice work.

I had the opportunity to work with Jake Clayton (fiddle & BGVs), Brian Seligman (acoustic, Mandolin, Banjo & Mix) and Brittany Hadley (acoustic & Lead Vocals) on my first track and I am nothing short of amazed at their ability to bring my song to life! Jake's fiddle work provided a "Mournful Backbone" to my track and his "Vince Gill" like background vocals provided a rich angelic harmony alongside Brittany's lead vocals! HIGHLY RECOMMENED!!!
