Jack Ripper

Being a phenomenal guitar player, and being 14 years old usually don’t go together. But in this case you will have to judge for yourself. Whether he is playing Ozzy, Hendrix, Black Sabbath, Van Halen, or his originals, you soon recognize his talent. Professional and confident on stage, you could almost believe Jack’s idol Randy Rhoads has been reincarnated.



Jack started playing guitar at the age of 7. By the summer of 2006, when he was 10, he was ready to start his career. September 1, 2006 is what we consider Jack’s first real show. It was held at Alice Cooperstown in Phoenix. Jack played a full set with a band named Engine Ears. From there the rest has been history.

After several shows that summer and fall, he was invited to join a local Phoenix band, “Kraised”. It was a great learning experience for Jack. In the spring of 2007 the Jack Ripper Band was born.



The Jack Ripper band includes some of the best musicians from the valley. Singer Brandon Wisely and Jack have written some great hard driving rock tunes. With Brandon belting out the lyrics and Jack’s awesome solos, everyone is rocking. Drummer Ron Fields and the heavy bass riffs of “DK” Dale Keyes, round out this great band.



The Jack Ripper Band has opened up for Pat Travers, George Lynch, Tracii Guns of LA Guns, Steven Adler of Guns and Roses, Great White, Jackyl, and Bret Michaels of Poison. In September 2007 they were the featured act for the opening of Las Vegas Bike Fest and played to 3,000 people. In the summer of 2008, Jack played the main stage at Rocklahoma.



In 2008 the Phoenix New Times listed Jack as one of the top ten guitar players in Phoenix.



Jack Ripper is concert rock, no one ever leaves until he is done with the set. You want to see Jack now so you can say, “I saw him back then”. Jack is the future of rock!
