Jake Fussell grew up in Columbus, Georgia, on the banks of the Chattahoochee River. As a kid, he accompanied his father, folklorist Fred Fussell, on many fieldwork trips throughout the Deep South, and developed an intense passion for folksong by playing with and learning directly from a variety of the South's traditional musicians, including Precious Bryant, Albert Macon, and Etta Baker. He moved to Oxford four years ago and has recently enrolled in the Southern Studies MA program at Ole Miss, where he is currently pursuing a thesis on the role of traditional music in the contemporary South.
