Shackle Jack

Shackle Jack was born in December of 2004 in a basement in Grand Rapids, Michigan when four guys got together for an audition. Each had their own personal reasons for being there, but they shared one common goal; to start an all-original, no B.S., ass-kicking band that could entertain a wide spectrum of music fans. Since that day, the band has surprised even itself by achieving every goal it has set out to accomplish. In under a year and a half Shackle Jack has been extremely ambitious, playing around 75 shows in their region in addition to a 3 day showcase in Las Vegas for the Fremont Street Experience as a headlining act. On top of that, they found time to record and release their self-produced, full-length debut album, "Jack in Irons" featuring fan favorites like Depths of the Damned, Full Metal Racket, The Rules and Take a Number. For most bands, a schedule like this could lead to strain, bickering and even possible breakup. For Shackle Jack it has been a positive experience, creating a family-like camaraderie that is evident at each and every live performance.
