THE JACK LORDS ORCHESTRA began as a quest for timeless, melancholic pop that exists in a universe where the Brill Building of the sixties, Manchester in the eighties, Manila under martial law and the islands of Oahu and New York City are somehow one and the same.

Taking the musical stylings of pop/rock and adding in the subtle, sweet twangs of the Hawaiian Islands, TJLO sprang forth as a new force on the music scene in the summer of 2006. Since then, this dynamic group has played at venues across the New York region.

TJLO fuse a variety of individual musical backgrounds ranging from hard rock, hip-hop/R&B, ska, bossa nova, jazz, Polynesian and pop. Combining all these musical experiences with Hawaiian instrumentation (ukuleles and slide-guitar), poly-harmonious vocals, 80's new wave, and indie rock inspiration they tell stories of loss, love, and longing.

Influential to TJLO’s sound are: the islands of Hawaii, the Philippines, and Polynesia; Jack Lord; Jack Daniels; Jack Kerouac; Jack Palance; The Mamas and The Papas; Hank Williams; The Velvet Underground; Gabby Pahinui; The Association; The Go-Go's; ELO; Os Mutantes; Talking Heads; Burt Bacharach; Queen; Men At Work; The Fifth Dimension; The Beatles; Hall & Oates; Jake Shimabukuro; The Beach Boys; and Brother IZ.
