This Week's Performance: Jackstraws

The folk music group the Jackstraws was founded in 1979 by classical musician Jeff Pekarek (aka Jeff Basile) and David C. Kendall. In the mid-’70s, Pekarek was the youngest member of the San Diego Symphony when he joined the contrabass section at age 17. The Jackstraws combine theater and folk music, with colorful (and culturally accurate) costumes. Themes range from Irish and English folk music, Bush Band, and Renaissance music to pirate ditties and nautical songs of yachtsmen. The group regularly plays Sea World, the San Diego Zoo, Horton Plaza events, and at Seaport Village.
