Originally from Belle Fourche, South Dakota, Jacob Voorhis is an applied music graduate from Chadron State College where he specialized in guitar and bass studies. Though Jacob began his college career in legal studies at Chadron State College, he quickly found that his true passions were in music and theatre.

While at Chadron State College, Jacob had a wide range of ensemble experience on electric guitar, electric bass, and upright bass with ensembles such as the CSC Jazz Band, CSC Jazz Band Combo, CSC Vocal Jazz Ensemble, CSC Guitar Ensemble, and CSC Wind Symphony as well as several other performing groups.

Musically, he has found his most rewarding performances to be through playing in pit orchestras for musical theatre, which has allowed him to mix together his two artistic loves.  Jacob shares his love for the musical art form to each of his students and strives to give them the capability to follow their musical endeavors wherever that may lead.

Jacob and his fiancé Megan have two pets:  their cat, “Cisco” and hedgehog, “Charming”.  Some of his hobbies outside of music are video games, reading and writing, super heroes, and anything and everything fantasy.  Jacob and his fiancé Megan look forward to their upcoming wedding this fall as well as making their new home in Lincoln.
