Jaden Decker\'s Band of Angels Tour - Peoria, IL.
Jaden Decker\'s Band of Angels Tour - Peoria, IL.

Jaden Decker will be making a stop at Jack's on Adams in Peoria, Illinois on his Band of Angels Summer Tour, July 29th at 9:30pm. 

Jaden is a 17 year old singer/songwriter who's "Rocky Mountain Country" sound has made him one of Montana's quickest rising stars.

Jaden's piercing voice and picking skills shine through, to prove that he is an old soul with lots to say, and people are listening. Jaden picked up a guitar at the age of 6 and has not put it down since. At only 15, Decker booked his first national headlining tour independant from a label or agency. 

Jade's first album, "Montana Grown" released to rave reviews in 2020, which was followed up by a well received self-titled EP the following year. Jaden's much anticipated junior album, "Band of Angels" was recorded at the iconic Blackbird Studios in Nashville, TN and will be available as digital download, and physical copies beginning on June 9, 2023.
