Palo, Iowa-bred artist, Dalles Jacobus shows you the grit of determination with his latest single, “Round Here.”
Jacobus sticks to his roots from the opening chords of the electric guitar playing a revving twang with its bends. His distinctively powerful voice, thick with power and ferocity, commands attention. He sends us reeling in his fast and fierce verses and drives home the message of standing tall in the face of adversity.
Lyrically, Jacobus illustrates overcoming obstacles, whether it’s swimming with the sharks or staring down the devil himself. He also doubles down on the naysayers with his proud declaration, “I ain’t no outlaw, but I won’t back down to no one.”
In the chorus of “Round Here,” Jacobus upholds his upbringing and the values instilled in him by his community, with Jacobus proclaiming, “If you’re looking for a quitter, won’t find one near, ’cause we weren’t raised that way round here.” It’s a rallying cry for resilience and solidarity, resonating with those of us from small towns who have a strong sense of community.
The artist stays versatile and dynamic as he authentically and confidently boasts his stage presence. To hear “Round Here” searing you up onstage, find Jacobus blazing his trails along venues like Barstool, Whiskey Bent, and Whiskey Row. Stay tuned because he’s also coming alive on Broadway in Nashville.
Jacobus also turns out to be a multifaceted talent as a former Iowa Hawkeye football player. With him seamlessly transitioning from the gridiron to the stage, we wonder what more could he do.
Listen to “Round Here” by Dalles Jacobus to fire up that spirit within you.
