Jackopierce October 16, 2008

Breaking up is hard to do. But staying together is nearly impossible. The average marriage lasts about six years, and 95% of new businesses fail within five years.

Twenty years of anything, especially Jackopierce (http://jackopierce.com/), an acoustic duo that got its start playing fratparties in the late 80's, is hard to believe. Add-in the fact that Jack O'Neill and Cary Pierce did not speak for nearly five years before reuniting in 2002 makes twenty years a downright miracle.

To celebrate their two decades together (and apart), Jackopierce will release a new CD, Promise of Summer, on September 9. The 11-song disc contains 10 brand-new songs and includes a remake of a Jackopierce classic, “March.” The album will be available digitally online as well as in CD format via jackopierce.com and CDBaby.
