JACK GRASSEL remains a positive force on the musical landscape. His first concert at age five initiated a career of over 15,000 performances, many with "name" artists. He is forging new paths as a genre-bending multi-instrumentalist known for his 21 CDs, 70 compositions, 12 music industry awards and 23 instruction books creating a legion of successful students. "Study with masters Tal Farlow, Lloyd Garber, Jimmy Wyble and George Van Epps fuel Jack's sonic assault on civilization". He fuses the history and future of music with an arsenal of 7 instruments, often 2 or 3 simultaneously: "The Triple Neck" (mandolin, guitar, bass), keyboard, harmonica, drums and voice). He has modernized and expanded Les Paul's 1948 ideas catapulting them into the next century. In a nationwide poll, GUITAR ONE MAGAZINE readers voted him "One of the Ten Best Guitarists in America..."
