Drawing inspiration from legends like The Beatles and Elton John, this song offers a sneak peek into Jacob’s highly anticipated solo repertoire. He launched his career as Jerry Lee Lewis in “Million Dollar Quartet” and opened for the legend himself on tour. Tolliver has largely performed rock n’ roll style music and with this new single, he is set to explore deeper emotional landscapes, signaling a compelling evolution in his artistry.
“‘Sunset Cemetery’ tells the haunting story of a man singing from the grave, questioning whether the woman he loved ever truly felt the same way about him. This eerie sound has lingered in my mind for years, and I’m thrilled to finally bring this emotional journey to life through its melodies,” said Tolliver.

I’ll wait for you

I’ll wait for you – forever
In the sunset cemetery
