"From the Guthries to the Dylans and beyond - music history has plenty of travelling minstrel stories that could fill a library.
But rarely do you get a chance to discover a local, evolving talent whose stories and skills are as captivating as Joel Jacob's. "

- Matt Munoz, (Bakersfield Californian, 2009)

Joel Jacob's debut CD, Makeshift Motive (2009) is available on iTunes, CD Baby, and at World Records in Bakersfield, CA.

Joel and his talented wife, Lidy also lead the worship music on Saturday nights at Olive Knolls Church's alternative worship service, SNC. The music is lively, the atmosphere-casual, the message-real. Joel Jacob is currently hard at work in the studio, producing his debut worship album.
