Lightnin Jack

Born and bred in the Southwest, beginning his life on small holdings in a Jarrah Milling Town, Lightnin Jack's evocative music reflects his authenticity and roots. Influenced by a diet of Lead Belly, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Creedence and local blueman, Jack has been making waves in the Australian Blues and Roots scene since his early days bootlegging CD's and busking.  With three decades under his belt now, multiple studio albums and last years rolliking LIVE recording, there's never been a better time to come along and witness the full force of this 3rd generation musician.  With a live sound that combines heavy electric drive, lap steel, resonator, multiple guitars and foot percussion, where better to see the Southwest's favorite Bluesman, than in his very own backyard of Manjimup, at Gatsbys Skyline.
