2. He has a fraternal twin brother named Jarrod. Both born in 1981

3. His real first name?  JOSHUA.  They didn't want him to be confused with other famous Josh's that were out there.  Can you name them?

4. He married a model,  Lacy Buchanan back in 2012 in Florida.  They have a daughter, Olive.

5. Remember his song, "Ghosts"? That was originally written for Kenny Chesney, but he turned it down.  That was a nice break for Jake (excuse the rhyme)

You can see him LIVE along with Scotty McCreery, John Michael Montgomery, Montgomery Gentry and many more at Countryfest 2014.  Get those tickets!!!
