Jack O'Neill (from Jackopierce)

Jack O'Neill is one half of Jackopierce, the Dallas acoustic-pop duo he formed with Cary Pierce at Southern Methodist University in 1988. The pair built a devoted following on the Texas college circuit, signed to A&M, and released Bringing on the Weather in 1994, split in 1997, and have been playing together again since the early 2000s. Onstage he trades on the same strengths the duo was built on: harmony-first songwriting and an easy rapport with the room.
