Balsa Club was founded in the late 70's by guitarist and lead singer Jack McKinnon and percussionist Harold Brohifney. The two musicians created a genere-bending sound that intranced millions around the globe. For over 25 years Jack and Harold rocked together, building a huge fan base (especially overseas in Europe, where they were played regularly by small local radio stations). The bands' dreams of ever releasing a full lenghth studio album were toppled when early in 2001 Jack met his fate. He was killed in a freak accident involving several utensils. With an accumulation of over 250 songs surmassed in Balsa Clubs' 25 years together, we honor Jack by releasing these recordings to the general public. One at a time.

Why this name?
Jack took this secret to the grave with him, Harold has informed us.
Do you play live?
Balsa Club has played virtually thousands of taverns and bars over thier long illustrious career. A vigilant collector may be able to track down some bootlegs.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Just ask Jack. You will see the tears of joy in in eyes.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Absolutly. The benefitiary of Jack's estate (and all of Balsa Club's recordings) would love to get rich from the royalties.
Your influences?
Jack has said that DIO, the Mammas and the Papas, and Dokken were major influences. Harold's #1 inspiration has always been Ric Ocasek.
Favorite spot?
Auburn, WA. Home of the Supermall of the Great NorthWest.
