Jack Hotel

Friday, February 21st, 2025 at 7:30 PM | 7th Street Loft

Jack Hotel is not some guy named Jack, but a group of talented Lincoln musicians. The band consists of Gunter Volker on guitar and vocals, Josh Rector on fiddle, Joe Salvati on resophonic and lap steel guitars and Kim Taruc on bass. They have put out three fine albums and have been a mainstay of the local music scene since 2012. The group showcases the songwriting of Volker and carefully picks covers from more obscure corners of the Americana repertoire. Add to this the fact that everyone in the band is fully in control of ─ and is expressive on ─ their instruments, and you have a recipe for an outstanding performance presented outstandingly.
