Updated May 2009
The year is 1998 and Calvary Chapel of Poulsbo WA is
getting ready to start their weekly service at a local
elementary school. In front of the small crowd are three
individuals setting up to lead the congregation in a time of
worship. This is where Jacob's Well began, and where the
heart of Jacob's Well remains—Serving and being rooted
in their local church body - worshipping Jesus Christ
together.
Jacob's Well was born as that young worship team with no idea
that they would soon be headed into a nearly full-time
traveling ministry leading worship for literally thousands of
people nationwide. Rob Loomis, his wife Elise, and Kevin
Blackwood have since traveled extensively all over the United
States sharing and leading others in worship with the same
passion that was evident in their beginnings at Calvary
Chapel.
The year following the release of their debut album ‘Be
Still' (produced by Inpop Records artists Shane Barnard and Shane
Everett), the band toured both the Pacific Northwest and
the East Coast, playing upwards of 60 concerts on their first
tour together. In March 2003 Jacob's Well was given the
opportunity to tour with Shane and Shane on their
west coast tour of WA, OR and CA. The band captured their
listeners each night with a unique blend of 3-part harmonies,
acoustic guitars, percussion and most of all their ability to
put full sections of scripture to song; a sound and style
that was quickly taking shape to become the signature of
Jacob's Well. The close friendship with Shane and Shane during
this season was a key ingredient to the continued success of
‘Be Still' and to the band's ability to
book themselves in new parts of the country they had yet to
visit.
During October 2004, Jacob's Well toured heavily across
the U.S. Mainland & Hawaii in support of their 2nd
release, 'You Are Better'. The album featured songs such as:
'Taste And See', 'I Will Praise You', 'Sands', and the
nationally recognized worship song 'You Are Better', all
written by Rob & Elise Loomis. Debuting at 3 on the top
40 at Independentbands.com,
You Are Better remained in the top 5 for five additional
months. Craig Mason
(Inpop Records/Centricity Records) asked the band during this
season to participate on the Life is Precious: Wes King
Tribute along with such artists as Derek Webb, Paul Colman, Downhere, The Kry and others to help raise
money for Wes King and
his family during his struggle with cancer. Justin McRoberts guest
appears on the track ‘Salt Of The Earth' that was
recorded by Jacob's Well.
Jacob's Well continued to tour heavily during the rest
of 2004 & 2005. After returning home from their 3rd visit
to Hawaii in the winter of 2006, Jacob's Well took a
short break to focus their attention on their local church
body as well as spending much needed time with friends and
family. It was during this time that the band recorded their
EP entitled ‘I Will See You'.
With the recent release of ‘I Will See You'
(Produced by Jacob's Well & 3 time Dove Award
Winner Masaki Liu - The W's, Five Iron Frenzy, Justin McRoberts,
Tooth & Nail Records, Five Minute
Walk Records), the band shares new spiritual &
musical maturity while not turning from placing an
emphasis on God's Word in their lyrics and
songwriting. ‘I Will See You' debuted at 1
for two months at Independentbands.com during the Fall of
2006 and was also featured in the “Independent
Spotlight” section of the October 2006 issue of CCM
Magazine.
Early 2007 found the band visiting the Hawaiian islands for
their 4th straight year of ministry there as well as touring
the western half of the U.S. through the months of March,
April and May, sharing the stage with Shane & Shane as well
as Mat Kearney on a few
select dates.
As of this writing, Jacob's Well is on an extended break from
the road. Rob and Elise recently welcomed their first child
in August of 2008 while Rob has also accepted a position as
the Worship & Arts Pastor at Central Christian Church in
Snohomish WA. Kevin in the meantime is busy as ever playing
in other bands around the area as well as teaching drums to
40+ students. They are eager to see what the Lord has in
store for each of them personally as well as corporatley as
Jacob's Well in the coming months & years.
