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.
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.
