Jakob Dylan was born in 1969 in New York City, to famed folksinger Bob Dylan. Of course, Jakob grew up in a household filled with music and was greatly influenced by his father and the music environment in which his father worked, and so it was not surprising that he began playing instruments when he was still a young child. Initially, however, Jakob embarked on a career in art, attending New York’s Parsons School of Design, but in the late 1980’s he teamed up with his friend Tobi Miller to form the Wallflowers, and the success of the band eventually sealed his fate as a musician.
The Wallflowers released their self-debuted album in 1989, but the album initially did not perform well. The band instead focused on perfecting their sound and style, and resurfaced in 1996 with Bringing Down the Horse, which performed much better, eventually going multi-platinum. The album spawned the hit singles “6th Avenue Heartache,” “One Headlight,” “The Difference,” “Three Marlenas,” and “Heros,” and earned Jakob and the Wallflowers two Grammy Awards, for Best Rock Song and Best Rock vocal Performance by a Duo or Group. Since that time, the Wallflowers have also released the additional successful albums: Breach (2000), Red Letter Days (2002), Rebel, Sweetheart (2005.) The band also provided multiple songs for the films Zoolander, American Wedding, and I Am Sam, and for the television shows CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, NCIS, and Cold Case.
The Wallflowers embarked on a short hiatus after Rebel Sweetheart, and in 2006 Jakob Dylan signed with Columbia Records as a solo artist, embarking on his own career. Dylan released Seeing Things in 2008 and launched a tour, performing at multiple festivals and on a number of television shows, including the Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, and the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Women and Country followed, and performed equally well, and in 2011 Jakob Dylan announced the return of the Wallflowers.
Both as a solo artist and with the Wallflowers, Jakob Dylan continues to perform, tour, and record. His most recent album with the Wallflowers is Glad All Over, released in 2012.
