About Me

Versatile, adaptive steel guitarist (lapsteel, pedalsteel, dobro, guitar) Jack plays with several groups around Boulder: most notably with (formerly) A. Ballad Nightly, (formerly) Tiny Television, Blue Light, Ben Jordan and the Heathens and The Paper Stars. And I am now also involved in an amazing improvised music project involving the amazingly talented players Jen Gilleran, James Han and Carrie Beeder. Watch out!"After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressable is music." -Aldous Huxley.
