Will Jake Thistle be the Next ‘American Idol’?

Written By Mike Greenblatt

Rutgers grad/Paramus native Jake Thistle recently announced the following…

“As most of you know, I’ve been having a blast recording the new record, and with that release on the horizon, my management and I were looking for some fun ways to introduce the music to a bigger audience. So, I’m excited to announce that I’ll be part of the upcoming season of American Idol on ABC-TV! Was an honor to head down to Nashville and play for the great team they have along with a lot of other singer/songwriters. The season premieres on January 26th.”
