Jack Mack and the Heart Attack is a legendary rock & soul band whose dynamic sound, impeccable musicianship, and unforgettable live performances have made them one of the most enduring and revered acts in American music. For over four decades, this nine-piece powerhouse has delivered a high-octane mix of R&B, soul, and blues to audiences across the globe, earning them the reputation as “the real deal,” “authentic,” and “extraordinary musicians and dynamic performers.”
Discovered early on by Eagles founder Glenn Frey, who produced their first record and championed their sound, Jack Mack quickly became a fixture on the world stage—lighting up concert halls, festivals, clubs, and some of the most outrageous private parties ever thrown. Their sound is deeply inspired by the golden-era grooves of Memphis Stax/Volt, Muscle Shoals, Motown, Philly soul, and James Brown, yet it’s unmistakably their own. Their signature horn section, The Heart Attack Horns, has appeared on countless albums by iconic artists and continues to be one of the most sought-after brass ensembles in the business.
They’ve shared stages and studios with music legends including Stevie Wonder, The Eagles, Chicago, Tower of Power, Blood Sweat & Tears, Luis Miguel, Boz Scaggs, Three Dog Night, James Ingram, Christian Castro, Johnny Gill, Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor, Aretha Franklin, Herb Alpert, Faith Hill, Willie Nelson, Diana Ross, Jackson Browne, Julio Iglesias, Trisha Yearwood, Garth Brooks, Sara Vaughan, Cab Calloway, Josh Groban, Celine Dion, Bonnie Raitt, Coolio, Bruce Hornsby, Flora Purim & Airto, Carole King, and Rascal Flatts—a testament to their extraordinary versatility and soul-driven credibility.
Their journey has woven through nearly every corner of the entertainment world. In 1988, they served as the house band on Fox TV’s The Late Show. In 1996, Jack Mack was performing live at Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta during the Summer Olympics when a bomb exploded—an event that shook the world. 23 years later, that same performance was dramatically recreated by Clint Eastwood in his film Richard Jewell, with the band cast as themselves—a powerful tribute to their role in that historic moment.
Over the years, Jack Mack has released eight critically acclaimed albums, contributed to major film and TV soundtracks, and played hundreds of shows that left crowds breathless.
