New album coming in 2015! Back in the studio!

Hey y'all.  We wanted to share some updates on our studio progress.  We have been busy writing and recording off and on for almost two years.  While we put out the live, stripped down album during that time we are focused and eager for you guys to hear our first studio album in two years.

So far we've created some of that traditional Jack the Radio mud-rock sound and some tracks mixed with a darker edge.  Last night was a productive session tracking vocals at ‪Warrior Sound‬ in Chapel Hill for the new album.

Here's a tease of a new track called "Leaves" with Chris laying down a harmony over George and A.C. vocal tracks:

Much more to come in the coming months!  Thank you all for your support and love this year!

Heading to Shakori!

This weekend Jack the Radio heads down to the Shakori Hills Grassroots Festival of Music and Dance! Major thanks to The Stagger for the amazing mention, which is out now. We will see you Friday, 10/10 Shakori peeps!

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

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:
