07.07.2005>>THE WEATHER HATES JAK AT FG, FINAL ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE
Because of the hurricane breathing down the Gulf's throat, this Friday's outdoor Fair Grinds performance is somewhat on the uncertain side.

04.21.2005>>JAK FEATURED IN LION'S ROAR
What's that? You don't have access to SELU's newspaper, The Lion's Roar? In that case, you'll find the article that ran this week on Jak on the PRESS page of this site.
04.18.2005>>NEUTRAL GROUND QUICK SPOT
Jak's been invited to play three songs as an opener for Renard Jenkins' concert at the Neutral Ground on June 3rd, with Jordan on the drums. More details to come on the Live page.
04.15.2005>>(ONCE AGAIN NOT) ROCKIN AT CHECKPOINT'S
Disaster struck and keyboardist Ben's out of commission for tonight and probably for a little while. Unless another change happens in the next five hours, tonight's show is, once again, Jak with guitarist Rory Callais.
04.08.2005>>ANOTHER "ONE FG MONTH"
One is still better than none. Next week's Fair Grinds show has been cancelled. These things happen periodically.
04.07.2005>>ROCKIN (AGAIN) AT KEYSTONE'S
Thanks to neophyte event organizer Eric Dauzat, Jak Locke and Tom Violence will be playing rock shows at Keystone's on Saturday, April 23rd. As details become finalized you'll see them in the center column and on the LIVE page. Backing up Jak for this show will be bassist Charles Walden and drummer Mike Routt with Ben Farrier (tentatively) on keyboard.
04.03.2005>>MASSIVE UPDATE: (ALMOST) ROCKIN AT CHECKPOINT'S ET AL, (ABSOLUTELY) ROCKIN AT KEYSTONE'S
"2003-2004 Bar Assault 'Tour'" backing band alum "Fishhook" Ben Farrier will be tickling the electric ivories at the ever-changing April 15 Checkpoint Charlie show, back with Jak for the first time since last March. Ben will also be playing with Jak on May 5th at Checkpoint's and (tentatively) April 22nd in Hammond at the Green Bean. ALSO, Jak's "Acoustic Night" at Keystone's had the 9pm slot on April 13th open up unexpectedly so he slotted himself in there...with a twist. Five-piece local rock'n'roll group Tsunami will be backing up Jak before playing their own set at 10pm.
03.31.2005>>WHO KNEW?
Jak's the "Featured Artist" for April over at neworleansbands.net! In the spirit of the upcoming video, "Molotov Cocktail (Junkyard)" is being hosted on Jak's artist page on the site. You may have to do some right-click magic to get the song in your grubby virtual hands, so keep that in mind if you run into any problems listening to it. Click here to get to it.
03.29.2005>>MOLOTOV COCKTAIL VIDEO
Jak and New Orleans filmmaker Jon Conkle are working on ideas for a video of "Molotov Cocktail (Junkyard)" from Jak's Junk Worship album. More details when more gets done.
03.22.2005>>(NOT) ROCKIN AT CHECKPOINT'S
Despite what the heading may lead you to conclude, no, it's not a cancellation! (For once.) April 15 at Checkpoint Charlie has merely been switched from a rock show to an acoustic show with the departure of Jak's former backing band to pursue their own musical ventures. Catch local jazz/folk rock musician Rory Callais backing Jak up on guitar at the only bar / grill / club / venue / laundromat in the city.
03.20.2005>>JAK IN HAMMOND AGAIN
Missed the last Green Bean show? Hammond's next monthly shot of Jak is on Friday, April 22 at 9pm. See you there.

03.11.2005>>JAK IN HAMMOND
Catch Jak's inaugural show at the Green Bean Coffee Bar on Saturday, March 19 at 9pm! Struggling SELU students need not worry as the show is FREE--spoiled SELU students can show off their opulence by tipping, of course.
03.01.2005>>ROCKIN AT CHECKPOINT'S
After you're done with your taxes, catch Jak's rock show at Checkpoint Charlie on Friday, April 15, then catch him solo there again on Thursday, May 5! Both at 10pm.

02.15.2005>>AUDIO!
Certain dates of past shows on the LIVE page now have short audio clips ripped from old recordings of the corresponding date's performances! Some of the clips have terrible quality thanks to the older-than-you technology used to record them--that shouldn't stop you from listening to them though.
02.04.2005>>ACOUSTIC NIGHT MOVED
Acoustic Night has switched venues from Hammerhead's to Keystone's just a few miles away in Metairie. Everything else is the same.
01.28.2005>>VIDEO!
Check out forty seconds worth of video from the Checkpoint's show on January 2, 2004. In sadder news, February 19th's show at, well, Checkpoint's has been cancelled and will probably be rescheduled soon. In the meantime, check out the new Acoustic Night website.
01.18.2005>>ACOUSTIC NIGHT AT HAMMERHEAD'S
With January 26 as the inaugural date, Jak will be hosting Hammerhead's brand new acoustic night every Wednesday night from 7pm - 11pm. The first few weeks will be set up in an open microphone night sort of motif, so if you play acoustic music and would be interested in landing an hour spot at one of the upcoming acoustic nights, stop by Hammerhead's on the 26th with your guitar and any acoustic accompaniment you prefer to have backing you up.
01.17.2005>>JAK MP3 ON INSERTCREDIT.COM

Go! Listen! Listen many times! I'll let you know when the MP3s cycle from here. Oh, and though it's a bit late to announce now, January 14's show at the Fair Grinds was cancelled due to frigid weather.
01.13.2005>>HAMMERHEAD'S SHOWS
Jak and the gang as well as Houma punk act A Waste Of Electricity will be filling Hammerhead's with their own brand of noise on March 4.

12.04.2004>>GRAB A PEN
This coming Friday, December 10, Jak will be playing live with backing musicians Brad Medina and Scott Blanchard again for the first time since June at Hahnville High from roughly 11am until 1pm!

On December 29, Jak will be playing fully backed once again at the Celebration In The Oaks in New Orleans City Park with local rock group QuiVer and comedian Jodi Borrello MCing!
