Growing up Jacob and Ben couldn’t have been more different. From as early as Ben being a few months old Jacob would ask their parents when they were going to “take Ben back to the hospital”. Eventually they would both grow to bond over their involvement in numerous shows together in high school.


Benjamin Bowers

By the time that Luke was born Jacob realized that he couldn’t just take him back to the hospital, and was in fact stuck with him. Although Jacob is the musically inclined brother, Luke wanted nothing to do with music and stuck with sports instead. While they are involved in vastly different activities they share the same sense of humor.
