The House
Jacks of San Francisco are the original “rock band without instruments.” Using
nothing more than their five voices (and mouths), they deliver everything from
blistering funk to screaming rock to heart-melting ballads for their
ever-growing legions of fans. These pioneering musicians have performed
thousands of shows and have shared the stage with some of the biggest names in
music. Their radio spots for Rick Dees Top 40 have been heard by 50 million
listeners on 330 U.S.
radio stations and 50 other stations around the world. Their jingles for radio
stations in Los Angeles and San Francisco have been heard by over 1.5
million listeners. Their music can also be heard in places as far-reaching as
movie soundtracks and computer operating systems.

A “house jack” is what you use when you want to move
a house.

 Anyone who’s seen
them perform live will tell you that the name is appropriate. “Raise the roof”
takes on a whole new meaning with the House Jacks.

The House
Jacks consist of John Pointer, Nick Girard, Elliott Michael Robinson, Austin
Willacy, and Deke Sharon.

“Astonishingly precise vocal
drumming!” – The New York Times
