CA - Lead Vocal, Acoustic & 12-String Guitars, Banjitar, Mandolin & Harmonica
Chris has been working in music since 1987 and considers himself a performer not a musician. His job every night to host the rowdiest party in town...and he does it!
Pete - Drums & Percussion
A founding member of the band, Meaty Petey is the backbone of the band. Recognized my many as one of the premiere drummers in the area, Peter has never met a shot of tequila he didn't like.
Swee'T - Electric Guitars, Slide & Vocals
Some people are born to play guitar. Tommy is one of those people. Arguably one of the tastiest players around, T-nis is the all-american kid...clean cut, loves his mom and apple pie.
Daytona - Bass & Vocals
For years, 'Tona has provided the bass line for some of the most succesful bands to play WNY. This multi-award winner also provides solid harmony vocals and a non-stop work ethic.
Koobs - Electric Guitars, B-bender & Vocals
Like most geniuses...Koobies is truly insane. Further proof that cowboys come in all shapes, sizes and haircuts...Koobs is the reigning title holder of Buffalo's best guitarist.
Billy - Road Manager
What can we say? Heart of gold...Billy would lay his life on the line for us. He's the rock we can always turn to when we need direction. THANK YOU BILL!

Mix Johnny Cash and Jimi Hendrix in a blender...splash of tequila (OK, several splashes)...and serve over ice.
BUFFALO, NY – Since appearing on the Western NY music scene in 2000, BAREBACK JACK has raised the bar of what is expected for local musicians. Among other accolades, BBJ has collected four consecutive Buffalo Music Awards as "Country Band of the Year" (2004-2007).
BAREBACK JACK works and plays harder than any other band. The Band is closing in on 600 performances in 8 years. They have been asked to share the stage with over 50 National acts including Nashville Stars and Rock Legends. Recent dates include shows with The Charlie Daniels Band, Chris Cagle, Sean Patrick McGraw, the Povertyneck Hillbillies, Eric Church, The Lo Cash Cowboys, and Craig Morgan. Other highlights include The Taste of Buffalo, Six Flags Darien Lake, The Attica Rodeo, America’s Fair, and CanalFest, as well as a heavy schedule of shows at virtually every honky-tonk, beer joint and backwoods tavern in the surrounding area.
In 2005, BAREBACK JACK released their debut CD “Bottoms Up”. The highly anticipated follow-up is planned for 2008.
