Jill Jack at Molly Malone’s: high energy, woman-centered , heart aching country rock. By Patrick O’Heffernan

November 18, 2015

  (Los Angeles)  I never miss a Jill Jack show in Los Angeles if I can help it, which is why I made sure I got a front table at the legendary Molly Malone’s this weekend because I knew that this was the last night of her tour and it was now or never.  Being an early bird paid off.  As she always does, Jill Jack electrified the room with her unique high energy, woman-centered , heart aching country rock and I had the best seat in the house.   Jack’s Los Angeles band –  Jim Burkard on lead guitar, Bill Warnick on drums, the amazing Jonathan Swartz on  mandolin (who was recruited that afternoon and blew us away with his fabulous talent), and Chris Colovas from Detroit on bass – created a sound that was perfect for Jack’s unique voice.  The band became a single living creature of music that rocked and swayed and drummed and riffed and poured forth some of the sweetest, most  blood moving sound I have heard in hallowed hall [Read More]
