His musical journey was born in the neighborhood garages of LA County and grew out to the clubs of LA's Whiskey, Starwood, Troubadour, Roxy, Goldstar Studios, and yonder to CBGB and beyond in the early 1980s with punk band, Channel 3. Since those early days, Jack has dabbled in other musical genres, from blues and rockabilly to Irish folk, swing, gospel, country, and Americana.

Larry Rosen - GUITARHailing from NYC originally, Larry Rosen now resides in the greater Los Angeles. Being around the hub of the music industry in the mid 70s at CBGB’s, Larry spent some years going around the world and freelance managing stages for other artists such as Mink DeVille, Blondie, Talking Heads, Steve Forbert, and the Dirty Angels while also performing in the reggae band Jah Malla on Modern Records for a bit. It was a first-rate rock ‘n’ roll education. Larry has shared the stage with Peter Tork (Monkees), Dallas Taylor(CSNY), Jimmy Henderson (Tucky Buzzard), Aileen Quinn (Annie), Terry Rangno (WeFive), and is totally comfortable on either side of the curtain, whether in the spotlight or running it..
