Gabriel Jacobs - Lead Vocals

What'll really capture and hold you are those solid-gold-plated pipes of his. Gabriel had classical music training early in his life at some of the finest institutions for the arts in Dallas, D.C. and Argentina. He began playing the guitar at age eight, and picked up woodwinds along the way, and had formed his first rock band before graduating from Middle School.

His talents continued to develop and he was selected to be a featured soloist in a National Young American Choir. He began a national tour with the Glam Band "Fantasia" in the 80's. After moving to Minnesota, he further developed his skills and augmented his education at Minneapolis' Music Tech, making contacts in the Twin Cities' music industry. He took his pick from many auditions for various working groups and original projects; one, of which, was Blue Rain. He settled into a great group of musicians here in Minneapolis, which in time, evolved into a local cover band "Froze in Time", where he developed his best and most enduring friendships.

Gabe credits friend Dan Haima and the guys in "Froze in Time" for bringing out the superb-showman with their, not so gentle, prodding. He began as a shy guy with a good voice and developed into a vocal dynamo. Gabriel has developed mastery in the art of drawing out a crowd. Determined to take his talents to a higher level, in the music scene, he moved on to a larger and more widely known act, the hot ticket band Jonah and the Whales, as a rhythm guitarist and harmony vocalist. In 2002 an opportunity presented itself for him to bask, once again, in the warm glow of the spotlight, as a front man, in the smoking hot rock band "Shattered Image", which later became Series5.

Fast forward to 2007. We would like to welcome Gabriel to the band and look forward to getting out there and rocking the Twin Cities KICKSTART style!
