Jack Conqueroo: A Brief Introduction Jack Conqueroo was born in the swamplands outside Lafayette, Louisiana on the twenty-first of November, 1969. Born to a coonass alligator poacher with a penchant for gator tail and moonshine, Jack grew up in amidst the mangroves, and was transformed by the sounds of the bayou. Jack ran away from home at the age of 5 to join the midway carnival that was parked outside his father's shack. Hellbent on making it in show business, Jack stole his old man's (Jacques Sr.) guitar and started playing for anyone with a nickel or who was willing to listen. Jack, like a good gumbo has been simmerin' to flavor for the last 35 years. Listen carefully you can taste the muddy, sweltering stickiness of swamps Jack called home in his work. Jack continues to entrance bar rooms and concert halls all over the world with his antiquated brand of muddy, lo-Fi, low-down dirty blues set against the vocoded and quantized musical landscape and tastes of his contemporaries. It's all in the roux, people. It's all in the roux! Jack Conqueroo 於1969年11月21號，出生於美國路易斯安那州-拉法葉市.。在白橡鎮的深沼澤地帶長大，出身窮苦並住在一間破舊的小屋,。他的父親Jacques Sr.扶養他長大，卻是個無證照的非法漁夫及酒鬼。在Jack年輕時，他全心浸入來自外在啟發的音樂，而藍調就是他的風格。當他的父親出外買醉時，Jack會偷偷拿出吉他，並練習父親彈奏吉他時的旋律。每個禮拜天，Jack都會偷溜出門，站在教堂門外，聽當地浸信會合唱團演唱福音歌，在音樂高昂時感受狂喜。青少年時期，他離家出走，加入停在家門前的流動遊藝團。這段期間，他磨練自己，演唱藍調、說書且能言善道，跟專業表演者的技巧。就像朵盛開的路易斯安那秋葵。Jack的音樂完美地混合了新鮮元素。這單人樂團，持續以低傳真主義/Lo-Fi，真實赤裸地，以密西西比三角洲街頭藍調風格，帶給酒館及酒吧的聽眾歡樂。   [ Hide ]
