Jack T Coleton
My name is Jack T. Coleton, I enjoy making music. I hope you enjoy listening to it.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Jack T. Coleton was born in a small town in Ireland. At six years old his family moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota. They didn't have a lot of money, but were able to get on track after young Jack found a shoebox full of money in a gutter. They bought a house and his parents got jobs and they were able to begin a fairly decent life in Minnesota. One day while walking home from school at age nine, Jack T. Coleton came accross an old homeless man playing guitar for money. Jack saved up for months and finaly was able to buy a little Yamaha acoustic guitar. From then on he took lessons from the friendly homeless man. He bacame obsesed and became a recluse. The only sign of him is his music, other than that, no one has seen him for years. However people say he often wanders around Minneapolis at night in a trenchcoat playing spanish style guitar for all of the homeless people he feels so indebted to.
