Big Rude Jake (born A. Jacob Hiebert) is a lyricist, songwriter, singer, jazz musician and bandleader based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He has recorded several albums with different jazz ensembles and musicians, mixing jazz, rock, rockabilly, jump blues, blues, ragtime, swing, rhythm and blues, gospel and punk rock together. Some attention was brought to Jake in the late 1990s, during the swing revival. He stepped away from recording and touring for several years, returning in 2009 with a new album. He started touring Canada and Europe again in 2010, as well as playing in the United States.
