Danny Jack of The Danny Jack Fiasco on Music and Arts Education

Submitted by Chris DeLine on October 21, 2008 – 3:00 amNo Comment

How did you get into making music, and how did arts education (or lack thereof) affect you and your music?

I started playing music when I was about 14. I got my first electric guitar and was hooked on Nirvana. A couple years later, I moved to the acoustic guitar and started actually writing original songs with that and have been ever since. Music education wasn’t really a focus for me. I primarily played songs on guitar by ear or by trial and error. However, I took every art class offered and that was my form of creative expression in school.
