The Jack Grace Band

Thursday, January 26, 2012 @ 10:00PMThu, Jan 26, 2012 @ 10:00PM

The Empty Glass, 410 Elizabeth Street, Charleston, WV

Mix Jimmy Buffet with the Squrrel Nut Zippers and Southern Curture on the Skids and you are in the Same boat as Jack Grace!!

Jack Grace is a singer, songwriter and guitarist hailing from Brooklyn, NY. Simple enough, unless you happen to happen to work in the music business. The entertainment world loves a label: character actor, avant garde painter, fill-in-the-blank musician. Jack writes for himself and plays for others. Simple. He’s been most recently known as a country musician, but that designation belies the myriad of influences that make up his sound. He started out being unnaturally obsessed with the Beatles, and as a teenager, he wore out his Zeppelin records like many of us growing up in the same era. Later, when he discovered Neil Young, he wore those discs out too. His first band, Steak, had a Zappa-inspired sound, he was told, when he was barely aware of the iconic figure who couldn’t be bothered to stick to a single formula. Fitting. Later, after discovering he had a baritone like Johnny Cash, he added some steel to the mix and suddenly everyone was calling him country.

Age limit: 21+
