“I don’t find it cheesy”
Jacob Brodovsky is a singer-songwriter from Winnipeg, Manitoba Treaty One Territory. He writes songs about feelings, the people who have them, the places that create them, and the fears we have about them. In the tradition of other prairie songwriters, Jacob’s songs are humble yet intricate, and as humorous as they are heartbreaking.
Jacob won the 2024 Canadian Folk Music Award for English Songwriter of the Year, has toured Canada and Europe many times, and recently has landed supporting slots for other Canadian artists such as MOONRIIVR and The Weather Station. He has collaborated with artists such as Charlotte Cornfield, Boy Golden, John K Samson Fellows, Campbell Woods, Old Man Luedecke, Ellen Froese, Sierra Noble, Roman Clarke, Madeleine Roger, Slow Spirit, The Funky Miracles, and Dominique Adams.

“Jacob Brodovsky spins mundane observations with imaginative insights, using lyrical richness and splashes of humour to paint in pensive musings and quirky, comforting colour”
“There is nothing artificial or contrived about the music in any of the songs on I Love You and I’m Sorry. Every note which appears in every song on this album needs to be here. There is a power and a passion about the music which binds it together; it is beautiful and artful and is capable of the hearts of everyone who hears it.”
