Jack O’Brien

A guideline established with any fairly common name is that there needs to be somebody by that name who was simply a member of the San Francisco rock and roll band sometime. True to create, a Jack port O’Brien turns up in the property of clanging wire vehicles circa the past due ’60s, using the pounding of the Hammer all his personal. Hammer, never to become puzzled with nail-driving works such as for example jazz fusion pianist Jan Hammer or rapper MC Hammer, was a relatively heavy rock-band through the Bay Region that received the creation and promotional press from the Fillmore’s Expenses Graham through one self-titled recording. Listeners thinking about the professions of noted program music artists may recall Hammer as the music group that drummer John Guerin is at back in the times when he was still only a drummer playing in rings rather than a veritable program icon. No identical fame implemented the various other Hammer associates: O’Brien, vocalist John DeRoberts, bassist Richie McBride or keyboardist Norman Landsberg. During 1973, O’Brien is at a group referred to as Wormwood Scrubs with drummer Richie Fontana, afterwards a sidekick of guitarist Billy Squier. The next Hammer record, taped but hardly ever issued, is known as among the “great dropped rock periods,” considerably by individuals who have hardly ever actually noticed it. O’Brien stocks songwriting credits for a set of songs over the Hammer aspect that do make it from the recording tool store.
