Frost, a very well known and respected guitarist in the rock world and locally, will be starting private instruction in July and running/creating ensemble programs. He has been a private instructor for many years and develops strong musical and personal bonds with his students.

Jack showed his creativity and versatility in Bronx Casket Company, bringing his guitar playing to a darker yet still heavy level. Bronx Casket Co. has released three albums since 1999.

Allstar Music Empire was created by a group of musicians driven by their passion for music and the arts. The goal is to provide future musicians with a setting to become inspired, not just from learning to play an instrument, but also from performing. They work with students on all levels helping them find and develop their passion. Allstar Music Empire’s goals go beyond just teaching a student how to play an instrument. Their music lessons teach every student skills to improve their confidence, focus, and drive, helping them to succeed outside of the Empire as well.

Was your hair big enough? The perfect look to go with the perfect music which was the 80’s. Well, Brothers In Arms are bringing back a wonderful taste of that era with their debut album BROTHERS IN ARMS featuring an amazing group of extraordinarily talented musicians.

SFL Music: This is exciting. How did Brother’s In Arms Come together? You were quoted as saying “you wanted to show the world that rock is not a thing of the past, ” but how did this all come together with all of these amazing musicians?
Jack Frost, Ronnie Rocket Live Report @ Earshot.at
Jack Frost: Yeah, you can say that again. Amazing musicians. Man, these guys are the best. You know, it was kind of a thing like eighteen months ago when the whole world got shut down, I was really busy doing a lot of great things. Tours were starting to go and then all of the sudden COVID hit and it just rocked the world. Still rocking the world, unfortunately, and what happened was a lot of people got really down and depressed. I think a lot of my friends, other musicians that I know. Man, they’re sitting around, eating, watching T.V. and me. I’m like, you know, I haven’t had a chance in years to really like absorb my guitar again because, you make a record and tour. I teach when I’m not playing, so I didn’t get a lot of time to like work on me anymore, and I just started to fall in love with my guitar all over again. And I literally, instead of going the I’m miserable route, I went, you know what? I’m going to put some time into something I’m doing. So, it really kind of started when Frontiers, Alessandro Del Vecchio. The keyboard player that writes all the songs, he’s an amazing producer. Asked me if I wanted to play some guitars on the Ronny Munroe record, for Metal Church singer and I’m like, sure! That got me so fired up. I had so much fun doing that, that I’m like you know what? I’m gonna start writing some good stuff. I just feel like writing, and I kept listening to like early Montrose and Badlands, and I kept hearing all this BS that rock n roll is dead. Music is dead. Nobody cares anymore. I’m like, what are you talking about? I go to shows. We all still love music. How can that go away? And honestly Lori, that’s really how it happened for me. I just started to write and I was happy. I would wake up and literally have my coffee and start my morning. I would go down to my studio and I was there ‘til like the night time. That’s the true fact. I just got started like the initial, you know I start putting roots together, start doing the drum machine and stuff and I’m like, wow they sound really cool. I wonder what some of these songs would sound like with like maybe, musicians (he laughed). That’s kind of really how it all began.
Frost: Yes. I’m really into the debut record of Badlands and I kind of re-visited that record because I just love Jake’s tone on that and feel and I’m like you know, that’s a great record to listen to, to get your mind into that vibe again, and that’s just really what happened. I’m like man, I would love to write a song like “High Wire” or something like. I mean. I’ll never write a song like that. Jake is and will always be like this amazing riff master. So, if I could just get a little bit of the vibe, that’s kind of where I went for it.
Frost: You know, it’s just really weird how I write. A lot of people, like a lot of lyricists tell me their moods. Like what kind of mood they’re in. Like me, it’s just very odd to me. Nothing really inspires me. I don’t get up and go ok, I’m going to write a metal song today. I literally sit down with my Les Paul and it writes for me. Like, I don’t know. I’m very lucky that I’m blessed that I just come up with riffs and its weird. It’s just, they write themselves for me. Isn’t that weird? It’s just kind of like, there’s no rhyme or reason. I know people that wake up in the middle of the night that have this riff in their head. I could be walking down the street with my dog, and I got to take my phone and hum something because, I don’t know. We’re a strange brew. We’re a strange breed us musicians. Like artists. What makes an artist draw a painting? It’s really weird, you know? It’s just and like you. You’re a writer. What inspires you? How do you write? How do you take an interview and make it come to life, you know? It’s crazy when you think about it.

Frost: Well, that’s easy. My whole goal was 1984. When the L.A. Strip was just jamming and bands were all playing the clubs. It was packed to the walls. People were happy. The New York scene. The Limelight. The Cat Club. It was ridiculous. L’Amours. Gazelles (Club) out in L.A. I mean, it was such an amazing time and experience to be involved in, that, I miss that, and I see the way the generation is now. We don’t have that kind of like people around the corner’s like,
