Hanging at the Raleigh Denim Workshop

As we roll into the holiday season and with the new year on the horizon the band is finishing up tracking the last batch of songs for our first studio album in over two years!  We still have a lot of work to do but we are excited to announce we will be releasing our next record entitled, BADLANDS, in 2015.

Stay tuned for more updates in the new year and more videos including a live performance video of a new song in the Raleigh Denim Workshop + Curatory! Here are some stills from the video shoot:

"Carolina Mud" on USA Network's Graceland

Sending a shout out to the fine folks at USA Network for using Jack the Radio's "Carolina Mud" during this great scene on last night's episode of Graceland!!!  We enjoy the show and great seeing our song used in a great scene with two ladies, a shotgun and talk of cheeseburgers.

Heroes Con / Sound Pure & PreSonus

A big hand to Seth Peagler, Shelton Drum and the Heroes Aren't Hard To Find crew for making the 2014 Heroes Con 'Drink and Draw' a major success.  The team raised a lot of money for Team Cul de Sac and Jack the Radio was glad to be a part of the event!!! Also have to give a shout out to the Hilton Charlotte Center City for being great hosts.

On a side note, George and Danny had the pleasure of demoing some stellar PreSonus Audio Electronics ADL700's at Sound Pure - Pro Audio, Guitar Boutique, and Durham Recording Studio with Allen Palmer and team with a newer acoustic tune entitled "Lonely's Found". Here's a link to the video -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUNXkV6l-oU

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
