Musician Jacob Davis Talks Style and How the Music Scene in Louisiana Inspired his Debut Album

By Cator Sparks Published December 21, 2019

Today we meet musician Jacob Davis:

Hey all, I’m Jacob Davis. I’m originally from Shreveport, Louisiana. I started playing music in college at Louisiana State University. The music scene in south Louisiana is much like the culture down there…it’s infectious. I loved everything about the slow moving way of life, and the music was just that…with a little bit of funk sprinkled in. It just has a way of making you feel something. The food, the people and the overall spirit of that place. I was drawn to it.

I moved to Nashville a year after graduating from LSU in pursuit of playing music full time. I knew it was what I had to do. After being in Nashville for five years now, I recently signed a record deal with Black River Entertainment. I’m currently in the process of making my debut album and couldn’t be more excited to get it out there.

As for my personal style:

Jeans/Pants: Levi’s 510
I’ve just always worn Levi’s jeans. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

Shirts: All Saints T-shirts
A good buddy of mine in Nashville told me about All Saints. I love them. It’s hard to find a good fitting t-shirt.

Suits: Armani
I like a slimmer fitting suit and Armani are usually a slim fit. And they’re just classy as hell.

Shoes: New Republic Boots and Tony Lama Ostrich Boots
I bought a pair of Tony Lama boots in college and they’re the best boots I’ve ever own. They feel like putting on a sock.

Accessories: Swiss Army Watch
I like that they can be sporty and casual at the same time. And they last forever.

Outerwear: Vintage Remington Outdoor Jacket
I actually found this old jacket in my father-in-law’s closet. I just took it!

Favorite cologne: Acqua Di Gio
I liked the commercial. I just went with it.

Favorite app: The Dan Patrick Show app
I’m a huge DP fan. It’s not always just sports…the Dannetes are hilarious.

Favorite piece of technology: iPhone
Like everyone else’s answer…

Next style/gear purchase: TAG watch
I’ve always wanted one. Saving up as we speak.

Ariat teams with rodeo legend for true cowboy collection

Trevor Brazile knows cowboying, and wants to help you become one

Ariat Relentless

Ariat is a big name in western wear. They are one of the biggest. From stellar boots and jeans to attractive and functional shirts and outerwear, they have always been one of the go-to brands for everything cowboys need. With the National Finals Rodeo about to kick off in Las Vegas, you will likely see Ariat everywhere, and even more likely, you will see their collection with 26-time world champion Trevor Brazile. The collection, Ariat Relentless, is one of the most stylistically functional lines a cowboy has seen.

“I've been a big part of everything I’ve done with Ariat,” Trevor explains. “The team is truly interested in moving cowboys’ and cowgirls’ lives forward, and they've been at the forefront of innovation for so long, and that’s what drew me in. On their own, technology and tradition are not enough. But Ariat puts those two together with everyday use, which has made this collection real.”

Bulgari Octo Finissimo Laurent Grasso Special Edition watch

As a brand that collaborates with artists and designers, Bulgari has been introducing iconic pieces into the market. Some artists who have worked on Bulgari timepieces include Mo Coppoletta, Kazuyo Sejima, and Tadao Ando. After partnering up with Laurent Grasso, the brand rolled out a new timepiece with a very stylish dial featuring cloud-like and intriguing cosmos art.

For starters, Bulgari's Fabrizio Buonamassa Stigliani had a vision of a watch that could explain the concept of time from a different perspective, a metaphysical point of view. Laurent Gasso, who is quite popular for his cosmos art, was the perfect artist for such a project, and the two creators partnered up to create something magical.
