Last July, Sacramento singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Jack Matranga made the move down to sunny Southern California, and already he’s found himself immersed in an exciting new musical project with incredible potential to do big things, called Jack and White. After being set up on a blind writing session with Brooke White, a finalist on the seventh season of American Idol who’s also had an impressive solo career, the two realized there was major chemistry and one writing session quickly turned into two, two into three and so on. Now they’ve got a six-track EP called Gemini ready to go with a target release date set sometime in June. I’ve heard rough mixes of title track “Gemini,” a moody little number reminiscent of ‘70s era Fleetwood Mac, and “Double Trouble,” a cute and pop-y little ditty that has “hit” written all over it. Keep an eye out for Jack and White, both here in the pages of Submerge and elsewhere, as they are sure to make a splash this summer with Gemini.
