Surf Sounds Summer Concert Series - Jack Knife & The Sharps

Jack Knife & The Sharps, led by the exceptional vintage guitar playing of Rick Hollister, is one of the leading rockabilly bands playing in Minnesota today. Formed in 1984, Hollister is joined by long-time producer and engineer, Jeff Bjork on drums and Scotty Christianson on upright bass. Rockabilly and roots music fans enjoy Rick Hollister’s precise, deep-toned guitar sounds and right-on-the-money vocals and find the relentless rhythms from the bass and drums to be irresistible. Jack Knife & The Sharps’ primary musical style is rockabilly, although they blend different musical styles with ease and artistry. Country, blues, swing, and surf sounds all come together in one of the most spirited sets of good-time, rockin’ music you will hear. Want dinner and a show? No worries! Food from The Legacy Grill will be available to order during the show. Scan the QR code on your booth or table to place your order, wait for the text alert that your food has been delivered, and enjoy!
