Frackwater Jack

Frackwater Jack, which was formed in 2013, was one of those bands that every show was just a lot of fun! We mixed modern, alternative, and classic rock with power pop, punk and new wave. Unfortunately, I had to quit this band in early 2018, since I had moved down to Hershey, PA. They continued on for 2 more years, but eventually morphed into a different band. We tried to reform the band in 2023, but we only played 2 shows that summer. This was definitely my favorite band, for a lot of reasons.

Band Members:

Don Bedell – Guitar/vocals
John Cunningham – Drums
Chris Gallagher – Bass/vocals 
David Misera – Guitar/vocals
