Artist Information

Biography

Aaron Seibert (Jack): Guitars & Vocals, and wife Jessica Seibert (Jill): Violins & Vocals, have been performing as JACK+JILL since their marriage in the summer of 2007. Having great success as a two piece, they decided to incorporate other musicians to play at bigger shows and events…And the success is climbing further. They are now an eclectic blend of 4 amazing musicians. JACK + JILL is a fun loving, high energy Indie/Alternative Rock Band whose musical sounds and silences will rock your face off! They are proud to perform with Tim Johnson: Piano/Keys, Mike Thornburg: Drums & Alt. percussion, and B: Bass and vocals. They also perform quite often with an array of guest musicians, playing an assortment of instruments! JACK+JILL have had the privilege of performing all over the west at many large festivals scoring slots on the bill with big names such as: Yonder Mountain String Band, Slightly Stoopid, Godsmack, Bad of Heathens, Loverboy, Stonefed, Fuel, Chris Cagle, Zelazowa, Saliva, Del the Funky Homosapien, Great White, Days of the New, Sebastian Bach, Lucas Nelson and the Promise of the Real, Meatloaf, Pretty Lights, Twisted Sister, Default, Rodger Clyne and the Peacemakers, Skillet, and countless "Hometown Heros". Performing at venues and festivals big and small, Jack and Jill even managed to slip into a chamber choir and perform at Carnegie Hall! The shows you will see them perform are just as versatile as the bands listed above. As the full band you will see their performances range from full on rock concerts, with intricate & danceable drum beats; big melodic bass lines; lyrical electric violin leads; colorful keyboard licks and soaring vocals harmonies- way down to "soft sets" that may (or may not) taper member numbers down to create an almost coffee shop acoustic jam feel that leaves you begging for more!

Since 2007 they have made 2 albums: “Into the Open” (2009), and “Brightest Star in the Nightmare” (2011). Into the Open has had much success since May of 2009. Once added on the bands official press kit, it landed them over 350 independently booked gigs in Colorado, Montana, Utah, Arizona, Wyoming, Idaho, and California! As well as multiple interviews and write ups in the local press and papers, a pretty large feat considering they also made 2 kids in that time too! The latest album is a very versatile album, a sure hit with its exciting collage of styles, colors, and musical textures. It is an eclectic, modern taste of 90's alternative and progressive rock that features alternating tempos and time signatures plus gripping psychedelic overtones. What stands them apart from other bands? It would be there unique talent of genre blending. They have radio friendly songs like “Overplay Me“, “Brightest Star in the Nightmare” and “5ifty4our“, to ultra progressive rock like “Patience” and “Alzheimers”. This disc is a musical mind melter. All this being said- fans who loved their first album will appreciate how JACK+JILL still preserve their acoustic roots while balancing this new, bigger, almost classical approach to the writings and recordings. The band's melodies and lyrics, always heartfelt in their simplicity will surely leave their mark in your soul.

Jack+Jill is a band that will stand the test of time, based in family ties, they are here to stay. Founded in Grand Junction they practice, write, and record in their home, out west, in the high desert of Colorado. They will be a band to recognize, to receive and to remember.
