Jacob Daniel
A must see concert by Nashville Recording Artist Jacob Daniel Christian Music, in Olsen Pavilion on Saturday, July 27th 5-7 p.m. FREE to the public. Jacob Daniel is a singer-songwriter from Sioux Falls, SD and originally from Pierre, SD. Following the successful release of his first EP "Wonderfully Made" in 2014, Jacob released his 2nd album "Storm This Castle" in the summer of 2016. Both albums were produced and recorded in Nashville, TN by Dove Award-winning producer and musician Daniel Ornellas of Tree 63 and Worship Republic. The current band has been together for a little over three years and have opened for the likes of Bonray, Geoff Moore, David Dunn, Sidewalk Prophets, and Michael W. Smith. Jacob's writing highlights the promises of Jesus in the midst of the pains and struggles of this life. Jacob has a heart for serving the kingdom by pointing to Christ and this is evident in his performance from start to finish. When he is not performing and writing Christian music, Jacob is busy fulfilling his calling as a husband to his beautiful wife Chezarae and father of his two amazing kids, Elsie (6) and Isaiah (3). Jacob was a high school math teacher and coach for seven years but is currently the Director of Youth and College ministries at Zion Lutheran Church in Sioux Falls, SD as well as their worship leader.
