He grew up in Tønder, in the rural area of Southern Denmark. Far away from the big cities. Jacob took his first steps on the soil of the Tønder Festival (a Danish festival of folk, roots, traditional music and Americana). which has influenced and formed him ever since. In 2008 a 13-year-old Jacob Dinesen randomly meet the seminar English singer-songwriter Allan Taylor at Tønder Festival. The meeting was the eureka point of a friendship and a mentorship that developed over the year despite an age difference of 50 years between the two. 13 years later Jacob Dinesen and Allan Taylor joins forces on the title song on the new Jacob Dinesen album: The Joker’s Hand. Back home in Denmark Jacob Dinesen has released 4 albums, been certified gold and platinum, and is on heavy radio rotation. He is selling albums in a time and market where everyone else is counting streams. He has also been selling out shows all over the country the last 5 years, playing venues and even arenas, along headlining festivals. The Joker’s Hand is the 5th album by Jacob Dinesen, and the first album released internationally. The album presents a contemporary rock sound blending electronic elements into the traditional soundscape of guitars, bass and drums fronted by the powerful rock voice.
