Private Domain

About Me

Private Domain was formed in San Diego in 1985 by guitarist/ songwriter Jack Butler and vocalist/ songwriter Paul Shaffer, featuring Jim Reeves on bass and Gregg La Rocco on drums. They have been a consistent Southern California live attraction, recently appearing at HooleyFest, SD Street Scene, KGB Skyshow, Budweiser Charger Power Parties at Qualcomm Stadium, as well as performing regularly at many SD night clubs including Dick's Last Resort, Humphrey's, Hooley's, plus Viejas, Barona, and Harrah's casios.

With Paul Shaffer (once voted San Diego's Entertainer of the Year) as lead singer and frontman, killer original tunes and an impressive cover song list that includes only songs that "don't suck," Private Domain can always be counted on to pump the energy level and keep it there.

Private Domain has had their original music appear in several major motion pictures, as well as having had a radio hit with their song "Absolute Perfection." They currently have three original CD's available. The newest CD "Great Leaders" was released March 1st.

Starting in 1999, the band has endorsement agreements with Washburn Guitars, Randall Amplifiers, Eden Electronics, S.I.T. Strings, and Pro-Mark Drum Equipment.
