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.
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.
Individually, jocelyn & lisa developed solid careers in the music industry but in 2011, they decided to collaborate. December 2012 marked the release of “Weary Warrior”, which charted #2 and #5 on CJSW Radio and they were featured artists on CBC Radio, CTV, Shaw TV, Global TV and City TV.
In April 2013, jocelyn & lisa were featured in the “Right Here” Destination Calgary video (a commercial promoting Calgary around the world).
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.
