They began their creative work as theater students at SMU in Dallas TX in 1988. Our segment begins with their autobiographical song, “This Is Our Time” which chonicles some of the band’s early success from independents to major label status. Our conversation covers their early Dallas roots and constant touring through the 90’s. We discuss the massive changes in the music industry over these thirty-five years and how the duo adapted. Jackopierce has created “Destination Shows” to allow their ardent fans opportunities to travel to exotic destinations for concert/vacation experiences like Napa Valley,Ca and Aspen CO as well as Martha’s Vineyard MA and many more. We chat about their creative partnership and how longevity has helped them work together. Jack O’Neil ends the segment by introducing the song “87” which describes the cultural and musical touchstones at the band’s inception. We follow that with their recordings, “Vineyard” and “Please Come To Boston”.
