Ep. 197: Jacob Tolliver: Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On
Update: 2025-05-14
Description
American singer and songwriter Jacob Tolliver was raised on classic rock and roll blasting from his grandmother’s radio. After a spontaneous rendition of “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On” on a dusty hardware store upright piano went viral, a star was born. At 19, Tolliver was hired as the understudy—and soon the principal—to play Jerry Lee Lewis in the Las Vegas production of the Tony-winning musical Million Dollar Quartet, giving him three years of eight-shows-a-week schooling in rock and roll showmanship.
In this episode, Tolliver shares his inspirational story and how his friendship with Jerry Lee Lewis and other rock ‘n’ roll notables has shaped his life and career.
