Jack O' The Clock

Jack O' The Clock is a delightfully quirky experimental folk ensemble hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area, blending Appalachian roots, chamber-rock intricacy, and avant-garde curiosity. Led by multi-instrumentalist Damon Waitkus since their formation in 2007, the band weaves banjo, hammered dulcimer, strings, and found-object percussion into richly layered storytelling. Their albums – including the recent *Outsider Songs* (2019) and *The Warm, Dark Circus* (2023) – balance whimsical arrangements with wry, often darkly humorous lyrics about modern anxieties, personal struggles, and mythical creatures (yes, even windigos get a shoutout). Known for collaborative energy and literary flair, they’ve carved a niche for listeners who crave folk instrumentation dancing with prog-rock ambition and a touch of kitchen-sink clatter.
