Jackslacks

American rockabilly musician, and author, Chris Giorgio aka Jackslacks adapted his stage name from the Sparkletones 1957 hit song "Black Slacks" and is originally from Valley Stream, Long Island, New York and resides in San Diego, California, United States.

After a brief musical flirtation with both the accordion and guitar, Jackslacks started playing drums in high school, heavily influenced by 1950's rockers DJ Fontana and Jerry Allison, and British Invasion timekeepers Ringo Starr and Charlie Watts.

"[1] After graduating from college, Jackslacks honed his chops as a founding member in both Forbidden Pigs and Hot Rod Lincoln, popular groups in the early San Diego roots-rock scene, which also included Beat Farmers, The Paladins, and Mojo Nixon.

[5] A huge fan of Sam Phillips Sun Records, Jackslacks arranged the Sun inspired original song "Bank Account's Too Small" on the Hot Rod Lincoln CD "Blue Cafe" which won best local recording at the San Diego Music Awards[6] and whose title track was written for the band by Topcat Brian Setzer.

He has performed and recorded with many popular players of the genre, sharing the stage with musical hero Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry as well as a who's who list of nationally prominent second generation rockabilly revivalists all across the United States.
