Jakob Luke Dylan was born in New York City, New York USA, on December
9, 1969, the youngest of Bob Dylan and
Sara Lowndes' five children. He was around 3 when the family moved to
Los Angeles, where he spent a good amount of time with both parents after
they divorced in 1977. He caught the music bug in his early teens, inspired
by bands such as The Clash to pick up the electric guitar; while attending
private school in Los Angeles, he formed bands with classmates that shared
his love of the more thoughtful end of the Punk-Rock spectrum. After high
school Dylan spent a period studying in New York at the Parson's School
of Design, but he soon returned to Los Angeles and decided to follow in
his father's footsteps by the late '80s. Enlisting the help of some his
previous collaborators, he formed the band that by 1990 would be called
The Wallflowers.
In mid-1996 the band released its most critically acclaimed album, "Bringing
Down The Horse", which included the monster hit "One Headlight",
the song that earned The Wallflowers
a Grammy for Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal.
Jakob Dylan's first solo album, "Seeing Things", is a mostly
acoustic affair and will hit stores May 13 on Columbia Records and also
via Starbucks; the amiable "Something Good This Way Comes" is
the first single to be released off of the forthcoming CD.
