Jackie Gino 2001-2007

About Me

Jackie Gino , an aspiring original music band, first began with Bob Riggs (vocals, guitars) and Mike Cuthriell (vocals, guitars) in the fall of 1999 @ George Mason University in Fairfax, VA. They began writing and recording music that fall and performing on the campus of GMU. In the summer of 2001, the two songwriters moved to the Jersey Shore and began performing weekly acoustic gigs in Atlantic City and at local parties. At the time, they called themselves "Mid-Air Goose Collision."
In the fall of 2001, they were introduced to Erik Wiesbock (drums, keys) and began adding his talent to the mix. The final addition was their close friend Shad McAllister (bass). In January of 2002, Jackie Gino was named and performed their fist show at Jaxx in Springfield, VA to 200+ friends and family.
Since the spring of 2002, the band has released three official EP's (Who is Jackie Gino? - Come Alive EP - Boom! EP). They are currently finalizing a live album that will be recorded during their Fall 07 shows and released soon thereafter. This will be their final album as Jackie Gino and simply a gift to all the fans that have made this journey amazing. With the recent announcement of their last show in December 2007, Jackie Gino only hopes to be remembered as one of the most loyal and top local bands in Northern Virginia amongst a short list of other very talented acts from that same area and time. In the end, the success is truly compliments of the people who came to hear the music and enjoy the evening with the group.
Love and Respect
Jackie Gino
