Jake Thomas has been interpreting the Old Songs Festival concerts every year since 1992. His considerable skills at conveying whatever our performers throw at him with unflagging panache have made him a favorite, not only of those for whom his services are intended, but also of our entire audience.

Professionally, Jake holds quadruple national certification from the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf. He is currently in private practice in Washington, DC. After living in the northeast for 16 years, he and his wife, Eileen, now reside in Southern Maryland.

We’re delighted that he’s ready and willing to make the annual trek back up to Altamont for Old Songs.
