If Bryan Adams, Sting, The Eagles, Bad Company and Garth Brooks decided to get together and form a SuperBand, their music would sound like the style of Jac Dalton. Jac's musical roots extend from New York City all the way to the Deep South of Australia, while his wings have carried him to perform across the globe. From humble beginnings often come the most unexpected surprises - Jac Dalton is just such a surprise. When all you have growing-up to keep you company is your thoughts, your heart and your guitar, the result is uncluttered, undeniable honesty and observation - the pure joy of the journey. Jac's debut album 'From Both Sides' is already anticipated to be popular in the hit charts for a very long time. In the same vein as The Eagles, Crosby, Stills Nash and Young, The Little River Band and other classic, vocally-driven superbands, Jac's music is timeless, diverse, mature and catchy. Rare indeed this day and age, his lyrics are for the 'every-man' inside us all, celebrating the joy of the opportunities and the love of the lessons. Billboard Magazine executives have already said of Jac Dalton, 'We need more music like this coming from Aussie shores…' If it’s been awhile since last you were ‘WOWed’… you’re about to be! .

Jac Dalton is a pop/rock freight-train thundering masterfully along slick progressive country tracks, powered by classic Australian rock & roll riffs. Originally from North Carolina, this renegade Southern gentleman arrived upon Aussie shores with but a notebook full of killer tunes and humble, heartrending lyrics aimed at the 'every-man' inside us all. Shopping around for just the right mix and sound, Jac soon attracted the attention of some of Australia’s most noted rock icons. These include: Mark Evans (AC/DC), Russell Morris, David Moyse (Air Supply), The Angels (John and Rick Brewster, Buzz Bidstrup and Chris Bailey), Rose Tattoo (Paul DeMarco and Rob Riley), Gwyn Ashton (BB King, Mick Fleetwood) and UKs Paul Wetton (Robert Plant Band) and are the International Legends featured with Jac on the album. With a world-class six-piece band logging more than a 125 years experience between them, finesse, maturity and passion are the silver bullets in vocally-driven, gut-wrenching power ballads like ‘Fire Burns’ and ‘Exhale’ (written for survivors of the World Trade Centre); while the heart-thumpin’, ass-kickin’, skirt-liftin’ classic backbeat of songs like ‘Dirty Mean and Nasty’, ‘Til We Run Outta Highway’ and ‘Good Bad Girl’ leave no doubt who it is brandishing the smokin’ gun of this unique rock & roll style. Country too wears a brand new hat in Jac’s classy, hard driving, songs like ‘Down and Dirty’, ‘I Want Love’ and ‘Cut to the Chase’ – timeless reflections amidst all the spit and polish of this exceptional act successfully straddling ‘Both Sides’ of the fence. Though each song was written to stand on its own, the journey of the album is epic – as rare are the times we stumble across an album that is all guts and absolutely no filler. And regardless of whether Jac plays unplugged or full-bore, you’ll wanna dance; you’ll wanna listen; you'll come back for more! If it’s been awhile since last you were ‘wow-ed’ … you’re about to be! ‘From Both Sides’ is digitally available online through iTunes and eMusic. Current Update for Jac Dalton In The Studio… Jac and the band are presently working on their second album with top Nashville producer Gregg Brown (Travis Tritt, Tanya Tucker, Chris Ledoux, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings) which will be ready mid 2009. A couple of the tracks were specifically written by request in support of global humanitarian concerns. The gut-wrenching power ballad ‘Can Almost Taste the Rain’ (Jac Dalton / Darren Mullan) is slated to be the rallying song for drought and hardship concerns (LandAid) not only throughout Australia but internationally, and will feature some of Australia’s most famous music icons. Another gut-wrencher, entitled ‘Blood Brothers’ (Jac Dalton / Darren Mullan), supports and acknowledges those suffering with devastating, isolating conditions like AIDS, HIV and cancer. Monies generated from downloads and sales of these two tracks goes directly to worthwhile charities and organizations affiliated with these concerns. Drought Relief Project… Jac and co-founders Jackie Schmidt and Zoran Paovic have, over the past 18 months, been working diligently launching what is perhaps the most ambitious drought and hardship initiative ever initiated in Australia. ‘LandAid’ is a long-term, multi-facetted bridging program aimed at enabling stressed regions to survive and thrive via more efficient use of land, addressing feasible and achievable means of water access/collection and supporting the needs of affected communities. A demo of the song ‘Can Almost Taste the Rain’ – written to fund the launch of this colossal project – can be heard on the official LandAid website: www.landaid.org.au. All info relative to the project can also be perused there. We hope you’ll have a look and support us. After all, ‘give a man a fish – you feed him for the day; enable a man to fish and he’s able to feed himself and a whole lot of others.’ LandAid is approaching famous Australian artist and pictographer, Ken Duncan to help with visual and graphic representation of these hardships on the website. |
