Jack Skuller signed his first recording contract at just 14 years old with Bar/None Records. His debut single “Love is a Drum” was called “arguably the best single released by anyone [that] year” by The Examiner, and The New York Post labeled Skuller “a mini Jack White.” The song was produced by Daniel Rey (Ramones, Ronnie Spector, Misfits) and featured drummer Ira Elliot (Nada Surf).
Skuller’s music career has since earned him a reputation for powerful live shows rooted in old school rock’n’roll. In his teen years, Skuller performed his original music for thousands of people across the U.S. as a Disney recording artist. He has been featured on the Disney Channel, FOX-TV’s Good Day New York, Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls, and with the GRAMMY Foundation. His music was selected for an ASPCA campaign, and is continually played on indie rock radio across the U.S. (including Sirius XM). The Songwriters Hall of Fame recognized his talent by awarding him the esteemed Buddy Holly Prize.
As frontman of blues rock trio The Skullers, he worked with acclaimed americana artist/producer Don DiLego on Freight Trains & Party Games - EP (2019). The EP garnered broad support with press and non-comm public radio, including multiple spins on The Rodney Bingenheimer Show on Sirius XM / Little Steven's Underground Garage. The band also placed on many "Best of 2019” music lists.
Now, Skuller continues to produce his raucous, catchy brand of rockabilly and rock’n’roll that American Songwriter once noted as “analog, vintage, and cool, with a sincerity.” As NYC The Deli Magazine put it – “Buddy Holly would be proud.”
Draw the Lucky Card
The debut album by Jack Skuller
Draw the Lucky Card leans into an Americana sound with an intensely personal lyrical focus. The 10 songs “check all the boxes; creative lyrics, exciting sound, catchy…” (Two Story Melody) and are “vocally rich and raw…Beatlesque” (New Jersey Stage), led by a “skilled and engaging musician who’s here to stay” (Big Takeover). You’ll feel uplifted, want to dance, and drift away into smoky power pop.
