2FastJack plays a seamless (and surprisingly smooth) gumbo of music with flavors and spices drawn from the band members’ diverse influences: blues, funk, reggae, southern rock and pop rock.
Front man Mark "Lip" Lipinski’s expressive growl sits in the sweet spot between a croon and Muddy Waters. His driving bass and solid songwriting lay the foundation for the band’s solid sound. Eric Lester’s trip-funk lead guitar adds a contemporary edginess that tastefully weave through the songs. Guitarist Mario Jobbe and drummer Mark Treitman round out the band with catchy rhythms and rock solid beats.
After a few months’ work to find the sound, 2FastJack recorded a 6-song demo, "GROOVE ON", that’s causing heads to turn and feet to tap. The demo has drawn positive reviews from garageband.com and landed a plum spot at this summer’s (2004 & 2005) Taste of Chicago Festival.
All four members of 2FastJack are veterans of the Chicago music scene, having played in various aggregations at some of the city’s best known venues – Metro, Double Door, House of Blues, and Riviera Theater, to name a few.
