Jact talked to a local DJ from X94.5 and got their single on air. The girlfriend of a record executive heard the song and soon after Jact was signed. The band plays plenty of arenas, but would rather play in the smaller venues in which they started.
Jact knew that they had a real chance to become a headlining national act in 1979, when Deb Urich started the group’s first fan club. The band embraced the small fan club and with the launching of the group’s own website by Helen Tettleton and a well marketed national tour the club quickly grew to a few thousand.
Jact intends to spend some time apart after the tour, allowing the group members to work on other projects. The group recently finished their new release, but they are already planning their next move. Jact's most current album is a refinement of their original sound.
Jact's concerts always have the audience singing by the end of the concert. The band loves playing in Omaha because they played their first sold out show there. The group has all their tour information, from the tour schedule to the latest Jact tickets released, on Ticket Specialists.
