The drummer of the group (and what a drummer!), Jake has the extraordinary ability to play both keyboards and drums at the same time when playing live. Although we've yet to hear his true voice in concert or album, he does sing backing vocals like John.
Born April 5th, in Champaign Il, it was Dan who talked him into doing a gig with himself and John after he met him in college, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Definetly the joker of the group, Jake's wit and dry humour can be seen in his Road Diaries of the band (if you like them, check out Matt Wilson's versions too). |
