Avid musician and guitarist, Kurt Kiehnle, founded a local band that was recently nominated “Best Musical Group”, by the prestigious Sarasota Herald-Tribune Readers’ Choice Awards 2022.

This musical rock sensation, that goes by the wacky name of Jack’d Up, expressed immense happiness and gratitude to all listeners for recognizing their efforts and hard work. Kurt, fondly known as K Rock, rose to fame quickly when he established the band in 2018.

Jack’d Up can be best described as a modern, fun and high-energy rock n roll cover band, that specializes in playing dance and party hits from the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and today. In their own words, “we will make you drink, dance and party all night long!”
