Jack the Radio and Toyota!

We hope you all had a relaxing holiday and we want to wish you a happy new year and happy 3-Kings day!

To kick off the year we wanted to mention we will be posting some new show dates in the next week or so and we wanted to share this rad video featuring our song "Truck Stop Man" with Dirks Bentley and Toyota for the reveal of the 2014 4Runner at the Stagecoach Country Music Festival:

Warm regards,

Jack the Radio: Writing & Studio

It's been an amazing 2013 so far.  Between meeting new fans, new friends, sharing the stage with great bands, having our music licensed in TV and commercials and recording and releasing an acoustic album and DVD it's been a truly memorable year that allowed us to hit personal milestones.

As the year ramps down the band will be taking time to focus on writing and some recording to prepare for the new year, 2014.

We wanted to send a sincere thank you to all of you for your continued feedback, love and support!  Stay tuned for updates and new shows...

Thanks!
Jack the Radio

Jack the Radio live album and dvd coming August, 2013!

Happy Wednesday.  After months of rehearsals and now months of editing and post production we are excited to finally announce Jack the Radio's live album recorded back in January will officially release August 6th, 2013!

In case you missed it the band recorded audio and video of two live sets completely acoustic with a string section at Amplified Art located downtown Raleigh, North Carolina at the start of 2013.  The product of the night will be a 12-song CD, containing two songs that have never been previously released, and a limited run of DVD's.

The band has had the good fortune of working with some amazing people on this project and can't wait for folks to hear and see it.  Stay tuned for more information.

Amplified Update

Is it already mid-February?!  Let me dust off the keyboard... we wanted to thank everyone for making the sets at Amplified Art a very special evening.  There was a lot of planning and effort put into the event to make it as good as possible on a shoe string budget and your support and responses have humbled us.

This has been an ambitious project for us and we are busy mixing the tracks in hopes of releasing an album and DVD later this year.  We are targeting June 2013 and plan to post more details, sneak peaks, and extras as we get closer to the release date.  In the meantime here's a photo from the event taken by Daniel Scheirer:
