Jack Grace Band: News

As Jack makes his way back to the States (New York, specifically), we'd like to take some time to note what some of his new Irish fans have been saying about his week of headlining the Dunmore East Festival in Ireland:

From New York, Jack Grace is one of the great characters of country music.

A singer - songwriter, guitarist and banjo-picker, Jack was like the Pied Piper. Everywhere he went, looking for all the world like a cowboy from an old western movie, the fans followed.

On Sunday afternoon, when the sun shone, for a few hours at least, Powers Bar resembled a saloon in the old west as Jack, complete with cowboy hat and rugged boots really kicked up a storm with his 1947 Gibson aceustic guitar autographed by two of his heroes, Merle Haggard and Doc Watson, one of the legends of Bluegrass. (Waterford News and Star, Friday, August 29, 2008)

Sounds like a pretty good time, and this editor wishes she had been there enjoying a Guinness and taking in the tunes (in spite of the rain).

When he's not up late entertaining the masses, Mr. Grace continues to beat the odds and get up at the crack of dawn to join the Takeaway team on National Public Radio. He'll probably be talking about dogs and some other stuff. You won't know unless you listen. Check him out various mornings at 6 am, or for you night owls, watch it on ye old You Tube.

Come back soon and check for some new items in the General Store, new gigs and other stuff you'll like. By the way fans, Battleship is back. We had ttouble with our old Web host, and they tried to run off with some of our files. Here's to external hard drives. Play on!
