About

After graduating from UCSD with a degree in Sociology, Cowboy Jack began his professional country music career while working at Opryland in Nashville, Tennessee. He was chosen to sing on The Grand Ole Opry, Porter Wagoner introduced him and he sang "There's a Tear in My Beer". That great performance and audience reaction inspired him to organize 'The Hank Show', a vintage replica band covering the music of Hank Williams, Sr.
Cowboy Jack also created 'Band In Black', an authentic tribute to Johnny Cash. His shows have entertained nationwide including Southern California, Las Vegas, and Branson, Missouri.
Most recently, he has organized a tribute to Merle Haggard called ‘Hag’.
The 'North County Cowboys' is a group of musicians from North San Diego County who provides back-up for Cowboy Jack's mix of traditional vintage country music.
