Good Morning Bedlam * Jacob Mahon
Good Morning Bedlam has become an innovative force in the midwest folk scene. Their shows are known for their contagious energy, with members careening about the stage, jumping and dancing with a wild playfulness. With tight soaring three part harmonies, and thumping kick-drum, they captivate their audience night after night with no intention of slowing down. Every song is a unique twist on what is generally dubbed as folk music.
We want to surprise our audience from song to song. Rather than creating our music to fit a genre, we allow it to be an outpouring of our own stories and unique sound, says Isaak, frontman of GMB. Just when you think you have Good Morning Bedlam pegged, they take you in another direction. You will be treated to a haunting waltz, whistling, jazz scatting, and the euphoria of the violin melodies. When it comes to their lyrical storytelling, Isaak says, Were desperate to connect to people through the common human experiences that we write about and the exuberance of our live show. People have a lot of choices of how theyll kick-back, so we intend to deliver a show where they can be free--to share in whatever they need to--joy, grief, anger, gratefulness, or bedlam!

Jacob Mahon
In the fall of 2016 Jacob Mahon moved to Duluth, MN. In the following winter he fell in love with Beaners Central Concert Coffeehouse and the Duluth music scene, which recieved him with open arms.
Jacob writes wordy songs about old people, and other people, cartoons and occasionally himself (but who would want to admit that). Influences such as Blind Reverend Gary Davis and Elizabeth Cotten add an old-timey feel to Jacobs guitar playing which, when paired with his unconventional vocal style, yield a unique sound.
He sings a song from the perspective of a goldfish thats about more than a fish (Marie Zhuikov, Marie Meanderings).
Jacob Mahons life sounds like the pilot for The Partridge Family if it starred Tom Waits (Seth Langreck, Perfect Duluth Day).
