Bio
After being dropped on his head as a small child, Jack was dropped on his head as a teenager. Not long thereafter, he was dropped on his head once more, then again in his mid-20s. Jack managed to make it through the next decade without being dropped on his head, but then was dropped on his head three times in rapid succession. Shortly thereafter, he began the Jack Silverman Ordeal, which, not surprisingly, is often described as the musical equivalent of being dropped on your head. Protective headgear recommended.
Members
The band is typically a quartet though the lineup is always changing, depending on a precise and highly secret formula involving astrology, phonics and the Tokyo Stock Exchange. At one time or another, you may hear on bass Viktor Krauss, Greg Bryant, Frank Swart, Tim Marks, Hags Haggerty, Byron House or Dave Jacques; on drums, Derrek Phillips, Jason Hoffheins, Chris Brown, Tommy Giampietro, Nick Buda, Dave Harrison or Rick Lonow; on keys, Tyson Rogers, Graham Spice, John Deaderick, Steve Kummer or Elton John; on sax, Chris West or Jim Hoke; on trombone, Roy Agee or Billy Huber.
