Jack Saunders has been part of the Texas music scene since his arrival in the Lone Star State in the late 1970s. Born to a Southern California military family, Jack lived in a number of different states-from Rhode Island to Alaska. While taking a break from the frozen north, he ventured to Dallas, where he was impressed by Texas music.

Following school he moved to Austin, and wound up in Houston, where there was a thriving music scene in the Montrose area. Jack met many singer-songwriters, from John Vandiver and Danny Everitt, to Shake Russell and Michael Marcoulier - and performed with these songwriters on guitar and bass. Jack subsequently joined the art-rock group, Taxi Dancer, and later formed the Jack Saunders Band.

In 1982, Shake Russell asked Jack to play bass and guitar in his band. The band changed personnel many times and lasted 7 years.  From 1990-1996, Shake and Jack released 4 CDs as a duo, and one with Dana Cooper as a trio. These years provided Jack experience as a recording engineer and songwriter.  In 1996, the duo parted ways, and Jack released two CDs and began fronting his own band.

Since then, Jack has been a busy producer and engineer at his recording studio, White Cat Recording. Recently, he's been dividing his time between producing, playing and backing up his friends - Ray Hubbard, Susan Gibson, Greg Trooper, Randy Weeks, and Hayes Carll. Jack continues to have fun with a variety of different projects, including his own. "Living for the Sunshine," his third CD, released in March 2007.
