Chris Giorgio aka “Jackslacks" and I first met after responding to a music ad in a local paper in the early 90’s. I was thrilled to find someone who had the same reverence for early rock and roll and rockabilly that I had. We took to each other immediately and became instant friends and brothers in music. I was pleasantly surprised when I learned Chris was the original drummer of one of my favorite local bands, “Billy Bacon & the Forbidden Pigs.” We played many shows together with Billy and always appreciated his music and show antics. Billy was one of San Diego’s greats and I was saddened to hear of his passing. Jackslacks has done a beautiful tribute for his friend on his latest release, When Pigs Fly. “Hog Heaven” is an especially good track, telling the story of their early music days in typical rockabilly/Beatles-esque type musical fashion. If you love roots music, you won’t be disappointed. I’d like to give a special thanks to those who helped me get rolling during those early years. Thanks Chris Giorgio, Warden Mr. Mitchell, and of course, Billy … ~ Buzz Campbell

Twenty-twenty … a long, strange trip indeed! Fresh out of quarantine, roots-rocker Jackslacks is back with his new release, “When Pigs Fly,” a fun, danceable morsel of swamp, romp & roll! Due to drop November 1st on indie label Shield of Love.

San Diego roots-rocker Jackslacks is back on the scene with a fine collection of original songs entitled “Earthling Sessions.” The full-length, eleven-track recording on indie label Shield Of Love, is both markedly imaginative and entertaining while remaining true to the distinctive and reverberating Jackslacks sound. The finely crafted, skillfully executed, guitar driven melodies are filled with tight harmonies and a backbeat that just won’t quit, all affectionately uniting the listener to a specific time and space when rock ‘n roll music mattered most.
