And he's so damn nice that before you know it, you're in his band." - Jason Dunn (The Luxury), Guitar Over the course of the 90's, Dan "Goodwood" Nicklin developed a solid reputation as a rock and hip-hop producer and engineer, quietly hiding his own talents as a soulful vocalist and songwriter with a penchant for gritty, heartfelt rock tunes along the lines of such greats as Joe Cocker, The Black Crowes and Stereophonics. In the winter of 2004, Nicklin brought together an all-star cast of comrades in his home studio to record a new Christmas song for family and friends - a modest amibition that created a sound no-one had quite heard before, mixing hip-hop beats, gutsy guitar melodies and a group singalong vibe - and almost unintentionally laying the groundwork for what would, years later, become OldJack. In 2009, OldJack is a big, bold, boisterous rock force to be reckoned with. Bringing up to 9 members to the stage at each show, the band features members and ex-members of such Boston notables as The Luxury, The Ultrasonic Rock Orchestra, Ms. Pigeon and The Halogens, featuring Hammond organ, a twin-guitar attack and the staple of any great soul-rock band - a lovely and talented backing vocal section (all present and ex-URO members). In keeping with the tradition laid forth by the original Christmas recording, an OldJack show feels like a family affair as talent overflows from a motley group of musical characters, banded together to create a sound that is at once huge, psychedelic, rocking and sincere. OldJack brings you home, sets you up on the couch with a nice hot drink, and tells you stories you won't forget.
