Jack and Jill is made up of a wide array of artistic suspects committed to keeping the tradition of “Rock and Roll” alive. In an era of auto tune and backing tracks, this band upholds the values of live music. Specializing in providing an electrifying party for weddings, private and cooperate events, Jack and Jill will leave your guests on the dance floor crying out for more.
Hailing from Penticton and Summerland B.C., Jack and Jill have been bringing down the house at various private parties, events, festivals and ski hills all over British Columbia for the past five year. This experience has led the band to becoming one of the most polished and professional party bands in the Okanagan valley. But don’t let this fool you, Jack and Jill comes to rock with sets lists that include a wide variety of rock and roll music from the 70’ 80’s 90’s to now. The dance floor will be cutting loose to covers ranging from ZZ Top and No Doubt to Green Day and Queen.
Mandy Cole, a.k.a Jill, is the vocal heart of the band.
Mandy’s well rounded vocal background has led her to become one of the most well-known vocalists in the South Okanagan.
Mandy is the other half of the award winning folk/pop duo, “Aidan and Mandy”, a past member of alternative rock band, “The Daybeats” and has starred in various Soundstage Productions including, Ronnie in, “Hair”, Éponine in, “Les Miserables” and Elphaba in, “Wicked”.
Mandy brings new meaning to the phrase, “Girl Power”. She will wail your favorite songs like there’s no tomorrow and hit right notes you wish you could. You will be singing along with this vocal power house in no time.
Will Schlackl, a.k.a. Jack, hails from a town called Metal. His fingers have one speed: fast. His amp has one volume: 10. His mission: Leave them dancing.
Ty Surowski is a Summerlander born and raised and has been slapping the bass from the young age of six. If there is a band that has formed in the Okanagan, Ty has most likely been asked to be in or has played with them. Ty slays bass solo’s yet stays cool under pressure. His love is all things funk.
Dan Bouchard grew up herding cats on the plains of the South Okanagan. He loves home cooked meals, apple pie and the sight of faces melting to some good ol’ fashioned rock and roll.
