If you don't know Dad, you don't know Jake. That's
because Dad, like Grandpa Penner and several other male Penner
relatives, is named Jake. "It's very common on both sides
of Dad's family," says Toby. "Since none of us are named
Jake, we decided to let the name live on with the band."
For starters,
Toby, Marty and Josh are polite, clean-cut, and fun to be around.
Athletic and smart, they're equally at home on the basketball
court or in their favorite bookstore. It's tempting to describe
them as "all-American boys," but they're proud Canadians,
to the bone--with dual citizenship, thanks to Mom Penner, who
was born and raised in the United States. Holding both a Canadian
and U.S. passport makes it easy to cross the border, says Toby.
"The customs people always smile and say, 'Welcome home'
whichever way we're heading... it's great."

Radio Music Awards. They also participated in a national

Hey I was just e-mailing you guys to say DON'T CHANGE
YOUR NAME!!! Because my name is Jake Johansen and everyone likes
my name, it is really cool. So I think you shoud keep that name.
One more thing when is your next concert? If you can please e-mail
me back. (Jakebball@AOL.com) well gtg (got to go). Keep up the
great music and god bless you. I haven't heard any songs
of "Jake" but "Waiting". I love that song.....it
has moved me so much, and inspired me to go into God's presence
like a child. I knew to do that, but needed a reminder......that
song is so peaceful. And also when I heard that song, I sensed
a deep relationship with God in the band, through the words ....
it's just great... stay strong in the Lord.......Indi. I love
the group Jake! I have been to 2 concerts- 1 in Augusta and the
Left Behind tour in Atlanta, GA. I met them both times and they
have such AwEsOmE personalities. They have really awesome songs
too! I can't wait to go to another concert & meet them again.
JaKe RuLeS!!!

My favorite band is Jake they are so awesome I'm

were in and I bought their cd. I got to meet them after the concert
and got a picture with them. They are the nicest guys. Plus they
just act like normal people. They talk to you like they're just
normal people. I just want to say they have changed my life for
the good and if they're out there and they see this I just want
to thank you guys for coming here and please come back to Wichita, Kansas
sometime I guarantee you I will be there if you guys come again.

What I think about JAKE!!!
FIRST OF ALL, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK GOD FOR PUTTING
THIS WONDERFULLY TALENTED BAND ON THIS EARTH. THEY ARE SO AWESOME.
I HAVE A 4 YR. OLD BROTHER AND A 1 YR. OLD SISTER AND WE WENT
TO THE CHRISTIAN BOOK STORE AND WE GOT THIS VIDEO FOR KIDS CALLED
"BIG SONGS FOR LITTLE KIDS" AND TOBY, MARTY, AND JOSH WERE THE
VIDEO HOSTS AND THATS THE FIRST TIME I SAW THEM. WHEN
I SAW THEM I WAS LIKE WOW WHO ARE THESE GUYS. THEY WERE FUNNY ESPECIALLY
JOSH (MY FAV).
THEY ARE JUST SWEET SOFT SPOKEN BROTHERS WHO WERE REALLY
NICE. WELL, BEFORE THE SHOW WAS OVER, THEIR VIDEO TO THE SONG
"WAITING" CAME ON AND THAT WAS FIRST TIME I HAD ACTUALLY HEARD THEM
SING. THE SONG WAS VERY TOUCHING AND MOVING AND I LOVED IT. SO I
WENT AND I BOUGHT THAT CD AND I'M FIXING TO GET THEYRE
NEW ONE "ARMY OF LOVE". IT'S GREAT THEY ARE MY FAVORITE BAND AND
THEY WILL ALWAYS BE. I AM THEIR #1 FAN!!
GOD BLESS YOU "JAKE" I LOVE YOU!!!

Jake- Hello Jake fans- I just got back from another
Jake concert. It wasn't like the Left Behind tour. This was much
better. It was so fun. I was in the front row taking pictures, Toby and Marty would like pose right in the middle of the
song, which was nice but everyone turned to look. I met them after
the concert and they were just as nice as the first time I saw
them. Toby took my camera and looked at it and then took a picture
of us with it... lol... its a great picture. I encourage everyone
to go to a concert if you have that opportunity, its worth your
time. All I ask is that when you go, be considerate and polite. Give
them your attention especially when they are talking so people
like me who didn't hear a word of what they said because of talkers
can hear what they are saying. Who knows, someone may be hearing
the message for the first time. I know that if you go you will
have a blast. I can't wait to go to another Jake concert!
In Christ,
Amber
