Details:
"The Three Jacks" is the "acoustic flying column" of Miami's own Celtic rockers, The Volunteers - one of Americaâs most entertaining Celtic rock bands with over a decade of packed-out shows at clubs, pubs and auditoriums in the US and abroad.

In "Treachery, Lust & Misfortune - American Celtic" The Three Jacks take the Celtic musical inheritance of the Americas into a new century. To a base mix of much-loved Celtic traditional tunes, they fold in their mistreatments of the Celtic classics â most notably numbers by the blind, 17th Century, Irish, folk/baroque harper and boozer, Turlough OâCarolan - [his "Lord Inchiquinâ now has a set of bawdy lyrics and has been re-christened âRamrods & Bearskinsâ] - whip in brand new (soon to be) Celtic classics from their "catalog of 18th century folk-songs we wrote last week" - like "The ballad of the Bare-Ass Girl" - and then leaven the whole heady brew with rip-out, stomping, fiddle break-downs . . .
