THE  JACKPOT BAND

 

  

Terry Jordan - Vocals, guitars and harmonica
 
A native Texan and co-founder of The Jackpot Band, "T.J." has been playing and singing since age 12, first as a solo act, then hooking up with other players in various projects before the formation of The Jackpot Band in 1998.  He and Jack have been playing together since 1980

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dave Koenig - Bass guitar
 
Dave is the only transplant in the band, hailing from Missouri, but, as the saying goes, he got here as fast as he could.  Like the other members of the band, he has been playing most of his life - originally, 6-string guitar, switching to bass many years ago.  Dave and Terry recently split from the "Two Mile Bridge" band to re-form The Jackpot Band.  We don't let Dave sing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Jack Verble - Lead guitar and vocals
 
Another son of the great state of Texas, Jack grew up in a musical family environment, and has been playing and singing most of his life.  His guitar styles range from country to jazz and everything in between, with a focus on classic rock.  He's the guitar player you always wanted to be!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bobby Benton - Drums
 
Bobby is the newest member of the band and also a native Texan.  He's been keeping that beat all his life and has spent several years on the road, playing all genres of music with big and small name acts, in venues from Hawaii to New York and "all points in between".  It's the band's good fortune that he's decided to stay home and play locally these days.  We don't let Bobby sing either.
 

 

 

 Jeff Gafford - Guitars, bass, keys and vocals
 
Jeff is Jack's nephew and has been playing with him and T.J. since about 1980.  The three of them are a great acoustic trio, and Jeff was the band's bass player in former incarnations of the group.  His lead and harmony vocal ability gives The Jackpot Band its signature 3-part harmony sound.  Crosby, Stills and who?
