I’ve been following Jack’s career for a very long time. Loved most of the stuff he did with his former band “Great White” and have enjoyed his recent efforts to keep the songs alive. Jack works hard and tours constantly with his new band mates, Tony Montana (guitar and keyboards), Robby Lochner (Guitar), Dan McNay […]
