Jake Oken-Berg

On his list of accomplishments, political wonk, music, working for a senator, music, a run for Mayor of Portland in 2000...music!

For Jake, music has always been a part of his life. But so has political discourse. Remember his run for mayor at the age of nineteen back in 2000? Vera Katz ended up getting a third term, but Jake did very well. Smart guy!

Now there's a sort of 5-year music plan in Jake's sights: commit to being a full-time musician and see what happens. The first thing is a new album.
