  • Bio

    Jackpot Donnie blends reggae, hard rock, funk, and blues for loyal audiences across the Chicago-land area. The band "features a crisp, even professional vibe that's seldom heard from indie acts" (Frank Krolicki – Chicago Examiner). The RedEye Chicago says, "Jackpot Donnie offers throaty, imploring vocals, a sumptuous ska undertone and choruses that captivate listeners." They are currently working on their latest EP with producer and engineer Steve Gillis (former drummer of Filter) at Transient Sound Studios in Chicago. Their first full-length album "Music Nightly" was released in 2008, followed by the "New Mode" EP in 2010. Formed in 2003, the band is comprised of Matt Love (vocals/guitar), Brian Wise (guitar), Adam Campbell (drums), and David Langley (bass). Newcomer Peter Spero (keys) joined the band in 2011, bringing years of experience as a MCA (The Lonesome City Kings) and RCA (TAMI Show) recording artist. Jackpot Donnie's music has been featured on radio, television (E! Network) and film (Sunset Star). You can find JPD in many of Chicagoland's finest venues, including House of Blues, Lincoln Hall, Double Door, Durty Nellie's, Cubby Bear Chicago, The Abbey, and Bottom Lounge. The band has established its identity as one of Chicago's most energetic rockers, and has been spreading rock and roll across the city and beyond.

    Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my new erotic horror novel THE 13TH is now in stores everywhere! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride!

    There's even a website devoted just to the book, with an interactive map of the places and characters at www.the13th-horror.com.

    Edward Lee called THE 13TH "A double-barreled shotgun blast of macabre entertainment -- an expert amalgamation of grotesquerie, eroticism, mystery, and pitch-black occult horror that no fan of the genre can miss."

    And Gary A. Braunbeck said, "John Everson's The 13th is the first out-and-out horror novel in a long while to actually scare the **** out of me while reading it. It's stylish, extremely well-written, filled with richly-drawn characterizations, and boasts a labyrinthine plot worthy of Umberto Eco. Trust me -- this one will fry your nerves and break your heart."
