About Jack...

Jack has been a professional disc jockey for over 25 years.

He has also been a radio announcer in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Anchorage, Alaska, Modesto, CA, Rochester and St. Cloud, Minnesota, and since 1999 he has been one half of the Jack and Melissa Show on Z-99, Bemidji, Minnesota. 

Jack has worked in literally every radio format: Rock, Top 40, Country, Adult Contemporary, and Talk, and has done hundreds of personal appearances, has worked as stage MC, club DJ, Wedding DJ, live remote broadcasts, charity events and public speaking. 

Jack is considered by many to be the ultimate "musicologist" in all types of music.

In addition to his live radio work he has performed as a guitarist with Dare Force, Nick St. Nicklaus of Steppenwolf, Fragile and more recently with the Bemidji State Jazz Big Band.  He also led his own band "The Jack Hicks Band" culminating with a performance at Moondance Jam.  His music has been featured several times on the nationally syndicated "Blues Deluxe" radio program.

 

No matter what the event, the crowd or the type of music, Jack can handle it with ease!
