The year is 1998 and Calvary Chapel in Poulsbo WA is getting ready to start their weekly service at a local elementary school. In front of the small crowd are three individuals setting up to lead the congregation in a time of worship. This is where Jacob's Well began, and where the heart of Jacob's Well will always remain—worshipping Jesus Christ.

Jacob's Well was born as that young worship team with no idea that they would soon be headed into a full-time traveling ministry leading worship for literally thousands of people nationwide. Rob Loomis, his wife Elise, and Kevin Blackwood have since traveled extensively all over the United States sharing and leading others in worship with the same fervor that was evident in their beginnings.

In the year following the release of their debut album Be Still (produced by Inpop Records artists Shane Barnard and Shane Everett), the band toured both the Pacific Northwest and the East Coast, playing over 60 concerts. This was their first taste of things to come.

In March 2003 Jacob's Well was offered the opportunity to tour with Shane and Shane on their west coast tour. The band captured their listeners with a unique blend of 3-part harmonies, acoustic guitars and percussion; a sound that was quickly taking its shape to become the signature of Jacob's Well. The friendship with Shane and Shane was a key ingredient to the continued success of Be Still and to the band’s ability to book concerts in new parts of the country.

October 2004 saw Jacob’s Well touring all over the U.S. & Hawaii promoting their 2nd release, 'You Are Better'. The album featured standout songs such as: 'Taste And See', 'I Will Praise You', 'Sands', and the nationally recognized worship song 'You Are Better'. Debuting at #3 on the top 40 at Independentbands.com, You Are Better remained in the top 5 for five additional months. The band was also featured on the Life is Precious: Wes King Tribute along with such artists as Derek Webb, Paul Colman, Downhere, The Kry and others. Justin McRoberts guest appears on the track recorded by Jacob’s Well.

Already in their 6th year as a band & ministry, Elise, Rob & Kevin are even more determined than ever to tell others of Jesus Christ and to create an environment for worship at each of their concerts. Their 3rd album entitled ‘I Will See You’ (Produced by Jacob’s Well & 3 time Dove Award Winner Masaki Liu - The W's, Five Iron Frenzy, Justin McRoberts, Tooth & Nail Records, Five Minute Walk Records) is a small glimpse of what we can expect from the band in the coming years.
