Jill Jack and Billy Brandt Acoustic Saturday Night GRFAS March 21, 2009

Jill Jack has dominated Detroit’s folk/rock scene for the past decade. A woman with a strong drive and ambition, Jill has a voice with a distinct timbre that sets her apart – each year and each album, her voice becomes more clearly defined as uniquely her own. Her genre-jumping sound doesn't slide easily into any one format and keeps her free to write and sing what she wants, the way she wants, to create her own sound. "I am a folk artist and I'm proud of that. The luxury I have with writing my music is that it can't be boxed into one genre ... it has the freedom to blur the lines from folk, country, rock, a little blues, etc., to form a great melting pot of pure Americana music." Billy Brandt is a guitar virtuoso, great singer and writer in his own right and performs frequently with Jill.
