The Three Jacks: The Clan

The Volunteers
The band to blame for spawning The Three Jacks!
Pratt Radio
Henk's son, Cameron (who did the cover art on "Treachery, Lust & Misfortune") , is studying Creative Writing at The Pratt Institute in New York. Cam's radio show streams an eclectic mix of great music - from The Clash (and everything Mick Jones or Joe Strummer ever did) through movie theme tunes, the Tom Robinson band, Gilbert & Sullivan, to The Avenging Lawnmowers of Justice. The range is basically from Beethoven to Camper Van Beethoven - and sometimes even a little Three Jacks thrown in! Tune in every Friday night, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., U.S. Eastern time.
Diane Ward
"... Ethereal, gauzy, and random, the eleven-track CD features the expected top-shelf production values and brilliant songwriting. It's full of diversity, it's finely crafted, it's pleasantly pleasurable." That's what Greg Baker of Miami's New Times thinks of Dianes' new CD. Check it out here!
Jack Shawde
Need a primo studio musician? Ace sideman? Top-notch arranger, producer? Bob's yer uncle - (or in this case, Jack).
Ade Peever
Love Ade's music. Ade's CD, "Green Man Said," features Henk's unmistakeable vocals as the damned First Mate on "Skeleton Crew" and the whole bunch of the Vols back Ade up as "Rebel Crewe" on the tub-thumping "Brother Judas."
Matthew Sabatella
Matt has released two CDs of American folk songs from the frontier as "Ballad of America" Volumes I and II, with numerous notorious South Florida musicians lending a hand, including Jack Stamates on fiddle and Henk Milne roaring lustily along whenever allowed. (We list Matt here even though he won't follow our suggestion to adopt the stage-name "Matt Sabbath").
Iko-Iko
Award-winning, legendary blues outfit from Miami, headed by renowned singer/songwriter Graham Wood Drout and featuring the blazing guitars of "Good Rockin' Johnny" Wenzel over the power-drums of (ex-Vol) Dan East and a bass end held down by (the Vols' own) Mitch Mestel. Check it out!
The Eighteen Wheelers
The 18 Wheelers like to sing songs about trucks. As a matter of fact, they're probably the only band in the state of Florida who play "truck driving music". Blending elements of roots rock, honky tonk country, western swing, rockabilly, and bluegrass, The 18 Wheelers keep it upbeat and dancable. They're not afraid to do the occaisional "cry in your beer" song either. Great rockin' band! [Two of 'em, Chris and Paul, are ex-Vols, too!]
Miami Beach Recording Studio
Looch and the lads. Just the best!
Scurge
The Vols owe their fab CD sound to Looch's talents as an engineer and producer. You can check out Looch's keen ear for a pop-hook in his own poptronic compositions with Scurge, here. (Henk wrote and recited the ethereal Stephen-Hawking-via-John-Donne-ish poem regarding the birth of ideas for Looch's song, "Start" - cueing loosely off DuChamp's impossibe Dadaist machinery in "The Great Glass")
