The Scally Brothers

The Scally Brothers are a dynamic duo from Toledo, Ohio composed of Jake and Zach Scally. From an early age the brothers developed a passion for their faith and love of all things music. The duo makes a powerful statement with their much-anticipated album, KEEP HOPIN’ // KEEP DREAMIN’, an epic, sweeping musical landscape that encompasses themes of ambition, dreams, and purpose.

This year Jake & Zach are performing all around the United States of America for their tenth national tour. They share a special heart for Youth Ministry and Young Adults. The Scally Brothers strongly believe that their mission is to revive the youth of the Church and bring a new energy to its people. A bible verse that is modeled for the duo comes from the book of Philippians: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13).
