Jake Clemons/Diana Chittester

Earlier this year, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jake Clemons released his sophomore album, Eyes On the Horizon. The nephew of the late Clarence Clemons, a longtime member of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, Clemons has composed all of the songs on the album (with exception of “Democracy”) and played guitar, keyboards and saxophone. One album highlight, the hard rocking "Consumption Town," features wailing guitars courtesy of Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello. Clemons, who studied jazz performance at the Virginia Governor’s School for the Arts and started his solo career in 2010. He’s spent the past seven years as the tenor and baritone saxophonist with Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band (stepping in for his uncle). (Jeff Niesel)
