FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: How much does Jacob's Well charge for events?

A: The members of Jacob's Well have personal expenses just like most people that require a regular financial income. We are not 100% free of charge, although in the past we have done concerts for free for those that were honestly unable to afford to pay us anything. With the rising cost of gas & other expenses these days, we have had to make some changes to keep our tires rolling. With that said, we fully do believe that where God guides His people, He provides for His people. We also believe that honest & integral communication regarding this subject is essential on our part and on the part of the promoter or leadership representative of a church or venue looking to book us. Finally, we do not want money (or the lack thereof) to be a deciding factor in your decision to book Jacob's Well for your event. Please let us know how we can serve you with that in mind.

Q: If you are able to sell your CD's will you come and play for free?

A: This is addressed on a case by case basis. Many times in the past 10 years churches and venues have used this as an excuse NOT pay a traveling ministry anything at all. To their credit, many of these people do not understand that CD sales more often than not with most bands does NOT traslate into money for the members. These merchandise sales pay for our running costs to get us down the road each day and to cover maintainance and/or replacement of gear, car parts, gas, lodging and unexpected costs that always pop up while touring. We rely on Love Offerings and/or Honorariums (money given by the church in addition to a love offering) to pay for our personal expenses and to provide for our families. If you are in a position where you would like Jacob's Well to participate in your event but are honestly unable to pay anything at all, please let us know. If you are looking to book another band for free for your next event because you don't WANT to pay anything (although you could), feel free to call us and explain why you think it is reasonable that you should not have to pay anything to an artist participating in your event.

Q: I want to book Jacob's Well but they aren't on tour near my city. Now what?

A: Your event may require Jacob's Well to fly to and from your venue location. In this circumstance, any airfare as well as room & board will need to be covered by you or the promoter of the event. You may want to get in touch with other churches or venues in your area and see about planning a few events over the course of a few days to help with these costs. Get in touch with us and we can let you know how to make this happen.

Q: Do you do house concerts?

A: We LOVE doing house concerts! Infact, in some ways, it's preferred over larger venues but not always as suitable. It also tends to keep the costs lower for you. If you are thinking about putting together a house concert, let us know! We'll give you some good tips.

Q: Do you travel with your own sound system?

A: This depends on the venue. Many venues are more than equipped to handle having huge festival size events at their locations, while some other places can hardly handle putting a CD in their CD players (if they even have one) without the speakers blowing up. So to answer the question: Yes, we are ABLE to travel with our own sound. And if you have an event booked on an already scheduled tour, the odds are that we will have a sound system with us. Wether or not we use ours or yours will be disccussed in the booking process. For those interested, we travel with the BOSE Personal Amplification System.

Q: Is Jacob's Well signed to a record label?

A: Jacob's Well is currently not 'signed' to any major, minor, independent, quasi-independent, foreign, domestic or interplanetary record label. Being independent has allowed us many advantages over the past 10 years of our lives. However, we are not against the idea partnering with a record label. Many of our friends have deep rooted & wonderful relationships with their record labels. We also have numerous close friend who are involved with these record labels. We have just chosen not to spend or be spent making 'getting signed' our goal.

Q: Do you like sushi?

A: Sushi happens to be one of our favorite foods. Quite possibly one of our favorite types of sushi is the Hawaiian 'POKE' (pronounced Poh-kee). If you give us fresh Poke, we will more than likely do some sort of weird dance...which could make for good video footage.
