Jax Hammeri s led by Jack Brizek, one of Sacramento Valley’s most talented and entertaining guitarists, wanted to create a band that was “unfettered” to a certain genre or time period…and Jax Hammer was born!

Jack and keyboardist Kevin Whalen are both outstanding instrumentalists and lead vocalists. Bassist Carl Borden and drummer Mick Voss provide a solid and propulsive foundation for the band’s sound.
