Jake Hooker was born listening to the sounds of traditional country music through his father’s west Texas country band. He began playing the bass at the age of seven and practiced diligently until he mastered the honky tonk sound.
Jake formed his own band at the age of 14 and began performing. By the age of 18, Jake was playing bass and singing full time.
He spent some time at South Plains College in Levelland, Texas, studying music and theory. Jake moved to the Fort Worth area in 1998 where he quickly became the local favorite.
Jake signed with Southland Records that same year and began recording and his popularity continues to grow.
His love and passion for traditional country music never ceases. He feels it is necessary to relay that love to the fans who are so dedicated to it as well.
There is no doubt that Jake is strongly influenced by the sounds of Ray Price, Johnny Bush, Faron Young, Curtis Potter, Leon Rausch and Darrell McCall. He spends much of his spare time studying these artists’ music in depth.
Jake is consumed by his dedication to the music and his hobbies include playing the drums and learning the steel guitar.
Jake’s graceful and professional image on the bandstand, along with his voice and talented band, make his show unbeatable.
