One of the most special stories coming out of weekend one of Coachella – Bradley Nowell’s son, Jakob Nowell, united with Sublime‘s original band members Bud Gaugh and Eric Wilson for a sun-soaked set on Saturday (4/13). Jakob Nowell carries on the legacy of Sublime 28 years after Bradley’s death in 1996. Coincidentally, Nowell, 28, is currently the same age as his father when he passed. On top of all that, Jakob played his dad’s custom guitar and Mesa Boogie amp, while drummer Gaugh sat behind his signature green kit. Saturday’s Coachella set marked the first time the green drum kit and Bradley’s guitar were on the same stage since the last Sublime tour in 1996.
