Published 2022-06-26
Jakob Nowell for the first time covering his dad Bradley's Sublime together with members of Burritos at Alex's Bar in Long Beach 2022. What a hell of a night to support the Nowell Family Foundation!

Jake celebrated his 27th birthday surrounded by friends and family all in unison supporting a great cause with an unforgettable night of celebration of Bradley, Sublime and the Long Beach community with it's great place in music history. Jake even busted out his dad's guitar! Amazing an unforgettable evening. Thanks Dave Shea for going with me as well and celebrating our old friend who we both miss dearly. It's a joy to see Jake growing into a great person and musician, Brad would be very proud of his kid, he's looking down with a huge smile right now I'm sure of that!

Special thanks to Kellie Nowell, Jarett Orr not only for the invitation, but for all the work they all do to support a wonderful cause. Also the supporting cast of friends and family making a huge difference for a cause that is very close to my heart, no one likes losing a great friend like Bradley or anyone else to drugs or alcohol it sucks!

Inspired by late Sublime front man Bradley Nowell, the Nowell Family Foundation provides addiction recovery services to the music community through the combined strength of the industry and those who have been touched by the power of music.

The Nowell Family Foundation is raising funds to open Bradley’s House, a six-bed recovery facility that will provide treatment for people in the music industry with opioid addiction, regardless of their financial situation. The goal is to offer a top level of clinical care, including medical detox and the ability to treat the most acute cases, through nationwide partnerships.

For years, the Nowell family has sought ways to help others avoid the tragedy of drug overdose. While working with longtime family friend Todd “Z-Man” Zalkins, who helped Jakob Nowell (Bradley’s son) get clean and sober, the plan to create the Nowell Family Foundation evolved.

As Papa Nowell says, “We have finally found something we truly believe in doing – and that’s helping others who are struggling with addiction.”

Kellie Nowell (Bradley’s sister), who is actively involved as the executive director, is dedicated to the growth of the foundation and to ensuring its stability, allowing it to serve others for many years to come

    Let's be honest, Jakob should be fronting Sublime right now.
  • @rocha2333
    Brad would be so proud! He left all his love in this beautiful soul! Sublime will last for ever!
  • @rsn2012
    For a lot (millions) of people, Sublime was the soundtrack to the best time in their lives. Brad's voice was in peoples ear for hours every day. To hear that voice again live makes people deeply emotional. Jakob, you doing this gig shows a high level of kindness for people you don't even know. Even though you have your own thing going and it's great, Sublime fans deeply appreciate you doing this. This was like 1998 all over again for me. I could almost smell the Nag Champa.

    Holy shit he sounds just like Brad!!!!
  • Im happy to have finally been able to listen to him sing sublime❤ he sounds so much like his dad and i love it. Rome rushes through the songs i feel, but Jakob doesnt rush like his dad.
  • Look at all those smiles on stage and in the audience, Sublime and Bradley bled pure happiness. Burritos and Jake sound amazing... Your Dad is there with you in all his Love and Glory.

    I can’t believe how good he sounds… as someone spent my entire HS years listening to them and being devastated as a fan when he passed, this is surreal to watch! Beautiful.
  • I love this so much. Its brads voice but I love that his son is adding his style. Live on brad ❤️
  • @biff85ta2
    If he recorded an album of covers I'd buy it. I can't say the same about a sublime with Rome album.

  • @racecarbed
    I love Sublime and I love Jakob's music, I love hearing him cover his dads song but I'm glad he does his own thing and it's a nice treat when he does Sublime songs.
