It’s a rare person who can actually make a living playing any kind of music in New York City, let alone country. But Brooklyn-born Jack Grace seems to be doing a good job of cornering the market--whether it's in the back room of Howard Johnson's, or warming up ballrooms for Merle Haggard.
With a warmly understated vintage-hollowbody sound, a crack team of backup folks (including, on various occasions, lap steel, organ, and accordion), and a booming set of pipes that sound like some long-lost Texas crooner remastered, Jack and the gang can be found on some back-corner stage most nights of the week, belting out future country-rock classics, and busting their asses to make it sound easy.
