Arlo and family set up these dates to raise money for Katrina victims. With shows beginning in Chicago, and ending with a sold out show in New Orleans, Jack opended for the likes of Arlo Guthrie w/Gordon Titcomb and band, Ramblin Jack Elliot, Willie Nelson, The Burns Sisters,Ramsey Midwood,Abe Guthrie, Annie and Cathy Guthrie,Exavier and a set with Annie Guthrie and Amy Nelson. At the first couple of shows, Cyrille Neville and his wife also performed some New Orleans funk in the house. It was like "walkin in a dream" for Jack the entire time and Amtrak's Jerome made sure they all made it back home safely on the Train that was Bound for Glory.......
Born and raised in New Orleans.Started a coffeehouse in the eighties in New Mexico.Many songwriters came through for songwriter's night but Jack was too busy raising a daughter and roasting coffee.
Twenty years go by and finally this debut CD is released because an old friend believed in an old friend and stuck it out for a couple of years of love and labor.Michael Paz, a local producer and musician himself, was the faithful source and highschool friend that made this music possible.
Musicians in New Orleans tend to help out others easily in this little town. Included on this CD were the likes of David Torkanowsky, Johnny Vidocavich, Beth Patterson,Dave Easely,Jay Dronge,Leslie Smith, and Kevin Aucoin. They all added their gifts to Jack's solo debut CD and he is grateful to them all......
