Jakob Luke Dylan, born December 9, 1969 in New York City, is best known as the lead singer and songwriter of the rock band The Wallflowers and as the son of legendary singer-songwriter Bob Dylan.
Dylan is the youngest of four children born to singer-songwriter Bob Dylan and ex-wife Sara Dylan. He married his childhood sweetheart, Nicole Paige Denny (now former actress Paige Dylan), in a ceremony at Sara Dylan's house in 1992. Dylan and his family reside in Los Angeles. They have four sons: Levi Henry, born in 1994, James in 1998, a third in 2000, and a fourth in 2007. Dylan is very private about his family to the extent that there are very few images of his children or wife available.
The Wallflowers started out playing alongside other aspiring rockers at Canter's delicatessen in the Fairfax District of Los Angeles in 1989. The band signed to Virgin Records and made a self-titled album, the cover of which had a picture of all the band members' feet, and drummer Peter Yanowitz's dog.
