Tobias Ben Jacob

Singer-songwriter Tobias Ben Jacob and multi-instrumentalist, producer and session musician Lukas Drinkwater share a nostalgic vintage video for their new single ‘New Capri’ ahead of their UK Tour in April/May.

With “More Notes From The Field”, Jacob & Drinkwater reach the high-water mark of contemporary folk music. It is an exceptional album that digs deep creatively and emotionally but is also beautiful and accessible.

Songwriting duo Jacob & Drinkwater share their new single ’To Call You Friend’ featuring Emily Barker. The single is taken from their forthcoming new album ‘More Notes From The Field’ which they are on the road touring now.

Songwriting duo Jacob & Drinkwater have announced their new album ‘More Notes From The Field’ and share the video for their first album single ‘The Nameless’ as well as details of their extensive tour dates throughout September and October.

The songs on Tobias Ben Jacob’s ‘Refuge’ are important and significant and deserve to be heard. One of the best, certainly the most emotionally powerful, albums I’ve heard for many years.

It was a magical ‘socially distanced’ evening at the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre in the company of one of our finest folk duos: Tobias Ben Jacob and Lukas Drinkwater.

This Old River is built on the strengths of this duo with Tobias’s brilliant songs and his impassioned vocals delivering every nuance. Matching and elevating this is Lukas’s accompaniment – the whole album is beautiful, compassionate and astonishing.

It’s together that Tobias Ben Jakob and Lukas Drinkwater shine brightest, a synergy of two musicians perfectly complimenting each other, bringing to mind the likes of John Martyn and Danny Thompson. An intense and spellbinding performance at The Riverhouse Barn, Walton-on-Thames.

Rob catches up with Tobias ben Jacob shortly after the recording his first solo album, one that sees a shift in his recorded work to date with a bigger band sound and a host of special guests including Phillip Henry & Hannah Martin.

For our latest ‘FRUK Presents’ Under the Apple Tree Session with Bob Harris we sent Tobias Ben Jacob & Lukas Drinkwater feat. Kelly Oliver to the studio. Together they performed a beautiful version of Bob Dylan’s ‘Boots of Spanish Leather’. Watch it here.

We have a great Song of of the Day from Tobias Ben Jacob & Lukas Drinkwater for ‘Burning Low’. The combination of Tobias’ accomplished guitar playing (and lead vocals) and Lukas’ double bass make for some sharp rapid fire acoustic interludes that really lift this song giving it a fresh and uplifting sound – a real catchy earworm.

In our latest Photo / Interview feature Rob talks to Tobias Ben Jacob & Lukas Drinkwater about touring, how they met and more. They are touring together this month.
