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]

Phil Vassar’s touching song, She’s On Her Way features fans in new video

October 13, 2015

Phil Vassar is no stranger at writing songs that touch your heart and soul. A fan favorite is his beautiful song, She’s On Her Way. Phil comments on the song, “I’ve always loved the song ‘She’s On Her Way. Me and my co-writers Kim Nichols, and Jeff Outlaw were hanging out one day talking about our kids. The more we talked and I thought about my own 2 daughters, Haley and Presley, we really got inspired. But, I have to admit, it was the most emotional I have ever been writing a song. I was all torn up before, during, and after. Even today when I hear the song, it still touches a chord in me. Over the years, fans would tell us how much the song meant to them and how they used it at their wedding. So, we thought we would say thanks to them and do a fan driven video.” Check out the video which features many fans and their special moments. The sentimental song truly touched me and had me in tears [Read More]
