Electrobek is the creation of singer, songwriter, and guitarist John Jakubek (Venice, CA). Drawing from the great depths of the American heartland, his songs tell stories of roads traveled long and far, and of dreams bold and colorful. This imagery is defined in a multi-layered landscape of lyric and sound. Electrobek was born in 2004 while traversing the streets of Los Angeles. Taking root in Venice, CA along with bassist Mark Getten, drummer Chris Kirshbaum and guitarist Billy Yates, John merged his soulful collection of acoustic songs with the power and inspiration provided by his bandmates: Electrobek.
Electrobek's songs have been compared to contemporary American pop artists like The Wallflowers, The Counting Crows, as well as classics like Tom Petty, Neil Young and John Fogerty. All comparisons aside, the sound is fresh and inviting with a timeless quality. Perfect company on any road trip.
