Jake Hooker and the Outsiders
- Recommended:
- Traditional honk and tonk
Founded 2000, based in Fort Worth, TX
Jake Hooker was born listening to the sounds of traditional country music played by his father's west Texas country band. He began playing the bass at the age of seven, and when he was 14 he formed his own band. 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. Then in 1998 Jake moved to the Fort Worth area where he quickly became a local favorite. He signed with Southland Records that same year.
