"MY GOAL IS TO SPEAK TO OTHERS THROUGH MY MUSIC - ONE PERSON IN A SMALL ROOM, THOUSANDS IN A PACKED STADIUM, OR ANYTHING IN BETWEEN”

In 2025 the boundary between Americana and jazz is cracking wide open. Led by DC native and Towson University professor Jack Waugh’s project Americanaland marries guitar players like Julian Lage or ‘Danny Gatton’s fiery abilities’ (WPFW) with a swampy, modern jazz fusion twist . Live, the quartet unspools cinematic melodies that slip from train beats to outside harmonic exploration - and back -inside a single chorus. The debut EP has already lit up regional radio, and with an impressive following of over 30,000 followers and fans via social media (@jackwaughmusic) the project has hit the ground running. Jack Waugh’s Americanaland has a sound that encompasses Jazz, Rock, Americana, Bluegrass, Blues, Pop, and more. Through his unique compositions and spontaneous improvisations, Waugh strives to balance exploration of uncharted sonic territory with honest, uncompromised emotion. His recent release of his debut EP “Americanaland” marks this sound that fuses catchy melodies with the deep spiritual experience jazz listeners seek. For Waugh, his guitar and his voice makeup the bridge that connects and transports emotion to the audience; 

“I play music because it’s able to transcend societal barriers and take listeners, as well as myself, to a place of unity and infinite consciousness.”
