"Jittery Jack has been on the Rockin’ Scene since the 90’s with his musical partner Amy Griffin on Guitar. From their days together in the Raging Teens, they have traveled the world and performed at the premiere Rockabilly festivals like Viva Las Vegas and the Rockabilly Rave. Combining elements of Roots Rock ‘n’ Roll and Country music, the latest release offers 13 original songs guaranteed to get you out on the dance floor!" - Red Hot & Blue Rockabilly Weekend

"We’ve been to a share of Jittery Jack shows around town through the years. They all bring on warm memories. A lot of that comes back listening to Tonight’s the Night album on Rum Bar Records. Jittery Jack along with guitarist Amy Griffin make Rockabilly all new again. They make it feel current and it glows with good feelings. There’s so much packed into the title song “Tonight’s the Night” that you could just sit on that for a while. There is appeal for locals in “Tavern At the End of My Career”. The title comes from a comment from Corin Ashley when he played the Charlestown bar Tavern At the End of the World. There’s a little Chuck Berry in “Winter in New England”. “Avid Indoorsman” has some very clever lyrics to check out. Listening to the whole thing at once is the way to go. Then you have to go back and relisten to those insane riffs by Amy Griffin." - Boston Groupie News

"Step back well over 60 years in time and pretend you're listening to the support act of Buddy Holly or Gene Vincent. That is the kind of music Jittery Jack present, with one line straight out of 'I'm-a Gonna Love You To', to cap it off. Amy Griffin knows all the licks from the day and plays them with panache. This is big nostalgic fun." - WoNo Blog

"Yet more Rum Bar news, there’s a new album by Jittery Jack and Amy Griffin. There are two songs on Bandcamp now. The first cut “Tonight’s the Night” is a bit overwhelming. The song is a pitch perfect rockabilly tune but then there's Amy Griffin! She fills up the song with non-stop choice rockabilly fills. They are clear as a bell with wonderful tone. If you didn’t have a life you could get in there and dissect those riffs. What a showcase!!" - Paul Blowfish

At long last, we've finally recorded a new album! The 9 years since our previous record were at first filled with gigs near and far, but as time wore on and the pandemic hit, it was looking increasingly questionable whether there'd EVER be another Jittery record. But in the Fall of 2023, Jack got ambitious and booked studio time and a record release show, despite having nary a song laid down! This prompted some feverish productivity, starting with two August sessions as a duo in Amy's basement, cobbling together voice memos to send to our intrepid rhythm section of Johnny Sciascia and Teddy Fury. Then there was a September weekend of recording live to get basics, two October Sundays of lead guitar and problem-fixing, and then it was off to Shorty Poole to be mixed and mastered in November - a real whirlwind! We hope you enjoy these 13 new original tracks, and that we can bring the show on the road to a town near you. - Jack and Amy, Dec. 4, 2023.
