Jackopierce

City Winery Pittsburgh presents Jackopierce live on Tuesday, February 4th, 2025 at 7:00 PM!

Jackopierce, Jack O’Neill and Cary Pierce, had only been a band for barely 5 years when they started getting courted by major labels in 1993. The guys signed with A&M, got paired up with legendary producer T Bone Burnett and moved to LA to record their major label debut. Before you knew it, they were on Conan, in Rolling Stone, People Magazine and on the radio all over the world. In addition to tunes from their other sixteen Studio and Live albums, Jackopierce will hone in on some of the classic tunes and stories from Bringing On The Weather celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the albums release.

Jack and Cary, or Jackopierce, started playing together at SMU in Dallas, TX, when music was shared via mix tape, not mp3. They’d spend the next 10 years recording albums and touring the world, sharing stages with the biggest names of the era.

Their inaugural decade ended in a short-lived sabbatical, with Jack heading to New York to pursue acting and Cary embarking on a solo career. The duo reunited 5 years later, shook the dust off, and launched another twenty-year run of successful albums and tours, bookended by sold-out shows featuring an all-star backing band (Vertical Horizon,anyone?) and popular destination events. Along the way, Jack and Cary’s personal journeys followed turns and drops unique to them, but familiar to us all. And now, as this river meets the next, both peace with the past and excitement for the forward-view is palpable. And best heard through their songs. But not because they’ve been making music together for over 30 years, or because of their half-million albums sold, or late-night talk show appearances, or influence on an entire genre of acoustic-driven rock.
