Humpback Jack is a four piece, self-described "hybrid-rock" band based out of Fayetteville, AR; more specifically described as mix between jam and pop, classic and modern, acoustic and electric, analog and digital, lyrical and instrumental, ect. They started out as a house band at Willy D's Piano Bar on Dickson St. in Fayetteville, playing whatever was requested by the audience. Since then, the band has evolved to writing their own material, as well as playing a few of their own choice covers, and intertwining them into entertaining sonic landscapes.

In 2005, Humpback Jack released their first album,  an all instrumental 4 song EP entitled "Electramental." The band has finished up their first full lyrical album, "The Red Eye Home," which was released April 12, 2007. The album can be purchased through multiple digital download stores like itunes, rhapsody, digstation, and others; as well as hard copies of the cd through live shows, humpbackjack.com, cdbaby, and various mom-and-pop stores across the country.


Humpback Jack's repertoire is extensive and diverse, compiled mainly of their original rock material. The sound has been created by the collaborated styles of all four members and their influences. Humpback Jack's music bears sonic reflection from artists like Bruce Hornsby, Widespread Panic, Radiohead, Coldplay, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Santana, Yes, the Dave Mathews Band, O.A.R., Gallactic, The Meters, Steve Winwood, Phish, The Steve Kimock Band, Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey, and many more. Micah Davidson, founder of the Charlotte Jamband Society, describes Humpback Jack as, “bold...full of hard funk grooves that can't help but grab the listener and won't let them go!!!!!!!”

Even though Humpback Jack's focus is on original material, cover songs performed by these artists and many others are not uncommon to a Humpback Jack performance. This gives the audience an exciting mix of fresh new music and familiar favorites.

The members of Humpback Jack are:

Nathan Carter - lead vocals, keyboards

Bryan Burkhart - drums, percussion, backing vocals
