The Authorized Biography of jack the original

From the suburban slums of San Diego comes Jack The Original, a four-piece band with a charisma and musical style remnant of The Beatles. Jack The Original formed in 1996 while in junior high school, and has spent ever since writing countless songs, playing countless shows, and getting overwhelming acclaim from their ever-growing fan-base of dorky boys and girls. Their unique style of piano drivin dork pop has evolved, into an irresistable blend of memorable melodies and original arrangements. jack the original has just released their highly ambitious debut album: "Why The Long Face?" After one week of the band's debut album being pressed they had an excited crowd buzzing in anticipation to see them perform at the House Of Blues in Downtown San Diego. Jack the Original has since performed at venues like The Casbah, The Belly Up Tavern, The Viper Room and many other venues on the west coast. They have also opened for "The Romantics" and "Veruca Salt" at the Belly Up. jack the original fuses old school charisma with modern style and sound. They plan to keep playing and evolving as a band, And by the looks of their debut album Why The Long Face? one can only ponder and wait to see who discovers them next.

Hi guys!!!

I am realizing I must have listened to your album so many times when I got it back in something like 2000, because now I still remember almost all of the words to every song. That's love. :-) Kevin, I lost your number when my phone broke, I might have to stalk you at Chili's...

Chelsea (12 years old) performs Beethoven and Chopin at a church. Different musicians got together to share each others talents. It’s normally called a shed. Chelsea thought it was comical to hear other musicians reacting to her performance. Check it out.

Every Christmas season, I find myself wondering, what kind of a kid was Jesus?
I mean, after he got himself out of the manger?
We shot this video in 1992 with my daughter Willow.
It's won some awards and is used in churches, temples & Sunday school classes.
It addresses homelessness and caring for each other on this planet.
It's called
WHEN JESUS WAS A KID.
Feel free to pass this on to friends and family.
Happy, merry, warm and loving holidays to you and your loved ones.
Bye for now - Peter Alsop
