The girls come first, and then comes music.
Hearing a musician say that isn’t surprising, with the image of a stereotypical rocker in mind. But red dirt singer and songwriter Jake Moffat brings it a new meaning.
Isabella and Cora are the girls to which Moffat refers.
Isabella and Cora are Moffat’s 7- and 2-year-old daughters. Moffat said the biggest shift in his music career was when he became a father and had to learn to prioritize his time.
“I made a point to be home to put the girls to bed, even if that meant leaving the recording studio early,” Moffat said.
The Stillwater native has been in music for more than 10 years and has played in Oklahoma and the Dallas area. Jake Moffat Band has performed with Stoney Larue, Jason Boland, Reckless Kelly, Jack Ingram, Wade Bowen, The Stagglers, The Red Dirt Rangers and Mr. Ellis Paul.
“The Dwight Boeckman Music Fest was the biggest we’ve performed with 1,500 people,” said Luke Tallon, drummer for Jake Moffat Band and engineer on Moffat’s solo album. “It was a high energy show and the first time to do something like that.”
Moffat released his solo album, “Scream,” on Tuesday.

Jake Moffat, a native Stillwater, Oklahoman, has been on the Stillwater Red Dirt Music Scene since 1998 as a young singer/songwriter, and has played all over Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas. Preforming as acoustic or as a full band show, he has shared the stage with, No Justice, Stoney Larue, Cody Canada, Mike McClure, Jason Boland, Reckless Kelly, Jack Ingram, Texas Jack, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Bleu Edmondson, Wade Bowen, Telegraph Canyon, Sara Jaffe, Harris and Ryden, The Stragglers, The Red Dirt Rangers, Scott Copeland, Badwater, Ryan Reid, Chance Anderson, Johnny Cooper, and most recently Mr. Ellis Paul. He then formed the band Remede with Ryan, Shawn and Shane. After a few years, Jake took time off to refocus on his dream, writing new material and then recently he decided to form a new band and with his new direction, it was a giant step forward. It's something that Jake has been wanting for a long time. Now with the release of his 6th album, "Scream", Jake has found his grove. He has a story to share if you take the time to listen and is a consummate songwriter, singer and band leader.
