Biography
We’re gearing up to get back in the studio for recording our upcoming CD. We will have a new mix of baby boomer classics and many originals for you to enjoy.
Some of the revues given about our performances...
"Jack sings with passion and style, truly Americana."
"A romantic at heart, his lyrics bring a story to life."
"What a great night of music. You guys blow me away with your musicianship and you just have so much fun."
"Your song selection is fresh. A great mix."
We have a great mix of original music along with out of the ordinary boomer classics by Grand Funk, Bob Wills, Michael Martin Murphey, Ben E King, Sam and Dave, Joe Cocker and more. The covers we do just aren't done by most bands. Our original songs cause people to think outside the lines. Come hear us, enjoy the evening, maybe even get up and dance.
Thanks to inspiring writers and vocal influences like Rodney Crowell, Brook Benton and Michael MacDonald and so many others, "I learned what soulful writing was through their songs." Jack points out. "Songwriters who have something uplifting and purposeful to say are the ones who have influenced me the most. I write about life's experiences and try to paint a good picture to carry with you as you listen."
"If a picture is worth a thousand words, the stories Jack Grimm paints are priceless", says one listener.
"There has to be days like this, I'll say truck, she'll say Lamborghini - days like this, I'll say steak, she'll say linguine. Cheeseburger and french fries, she complains, says it goes straight to her thighs. It's way too deep to scrutinize for a man like me." Jack Grimm
Today, Jack is a husband, father, commercial and fine art artist, thrilled at doing what he believes he has been gifted to do: write and sing the songs that touch people's lives.
"There is power in music and art - to cause tears, provoke thought and bring about action," Jack says. "The more I write, the more renewed I feel."
"I strive to be a positive role model for my sons. I've learned that because of our words and deeds we can either heal or hurt, lift up or tear down, cause joy or pain." He continues, "I make the conscious choice to help heal hurts and bring some calm to a sometimes calamitous world."
