International touring artist J.D. (Jacob Douglas) Crosstown, grew up in Neyaashiinigmiing, the Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation, ON. Picking up the guitar at age 9, Crosstown didnt start performing infront of crowds until after lockdown, but within a short time of sharing his craft, it has brought him great opportunities. Embarking on his first overseas tour in Germany in 2023, as well as travelling across Canada.

Many of Crosstown's influences have helped shape his sound, including Townes Van Zandt, Joan Baez, John Prine and Bob Dylan. Having always gravitated towards folk music for its ability to command audiences and paint epic stories in a short period of time with only a few words. Crosstown decribes his own music as traditional folk, country/blues, and says that he, hopes that his songs give people a place to lean back on too. Crosstown is a storyteller and captures the poignancy of a time and place, of heartbreak, loss, hope, love, adventure and friendship.
