Jocelyn Alice and & Lisa Jacobs
Two girls. Two opposite worlds. Two musical storytellers colliding.
Jocelyn Alice grew up in the world of music competitions—from small town fairs all the way
to becoming runner up on Canada’s Pop Stars when she was sixteen. Lisa Jacobs grew up
playing bass in her family band, at church, festivals and in smoke-filled bars. Although they
developed as musicians in different worlds, their love, need and desire to tell a story
through music was the same.
Jocelyn is a heartbreak hero. Her unique voice, fierce with passion, yet fragile with emotion,
frees a story where all who listen are changed. After landing a publishing deal, her songs
played on the hit shows One Tree Hill and Pretty Little Liars. Studio producers, Russell
Broom and Mitch Lee, hired Jocelyn as a session vocalist to record songs for the hit movie
Dear Santa, as well as for nation-wide commercials. She also recently shared the stage with
Mos Def.
Lisa shares her story through song. The bass, guitar and piano serve as mediums for
conveying love, brokenness, strength and joy. As a bassist, she has toured across North
America and internationally. Her groove-ability in all styles solidified her reputation as a
sought-after musician. She has shared the stage with Bedouin Soundclash, Theory of a
Deadman, Los Lobos, Emerson Drive and many others.
As individuals, they have both developed solid careers in the music industry. In 2011,
jocelyn & lisa decided to venture out together. In addition to playing live shows, they were
featured in the “Crave” documentary by LA filmmaker and best-selling novelist, Erwin
McManus and recorded a commercial for Habitat for Humanity. December 2012 marks the
release of their first EP, “Weary Warrior”. A track from this album is featured in the
documentary, “1000 Days” by award-winning director, Jeth Weinrich (Jann Arden, Chantal
Kreviazuk, 54-40), who is also producing a music video for the song. jocelyn & lisa have
been selected as guest artists on CBC Radio and to perform at the TransCanada Alberta
Music Series.
The music they create embodies the ongoing parallels in their lives - much light/much
darkness, much love/much hurt, abundant mistakes/extravagant grace, desperate
brokenness/undeniable strength. Songwriting, storytelling and passionate performance are
packaged into a unique sound-blend of pop, soul, reggae and funk. jocelyn & lisa have an
undeniable chemistry that permeates the music and penetrates the listener.
