Jack Smith
Hi, my name is Jack Smith (yes, it's my real name)) welcome to my band page, I hope you like the songs I've posted here, I plan on adding more soon. I have an official CD called "The Hidden Persuader" available at cdbaby.com but this site (SoundClick) allows me to just post any of my songs whenever I want & I love that freedom. Thanks for checkin' it out, Jack (aka Mojo)
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
The only relevant bands as far as this site goes are "The Hidden Persuaders" - an all original band that I was in for five plus years & my current band "Funkwire"
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes I play in a cover band called Funkwire (www.funkwire.com) that plays around the Mpls/St Paul area (although we've travelled to Wi). You can check out our schedule in the blue box to the right. All the members sing, that's right we have a drummer that sings!!!! Along with the covers we play a few originals. Every moment in this band is special - well a lot of them anyway!!!!
Your musical influences
I was influenced by the early R&B leaning Rock & Roll type singers & groups of my youth & later the Beach Boys, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Steely Dan I'm running out of room!!!
What equipment do you use?
Whatever I can
Anything else?
I love almost every type of music as long as it feels real to me. That's why I write what I do.
