Jack & Diane’s life plays out like a song we all know so well. A captivating married couple, the combination of their love of music and for one another immediately resonates with an audience. Most would describe their music as “easy listening with hints of blues and smooth jazz”.
Diane is an admitted "hopeless romantic". Overcoming a lifetime of hardship, she believes in happy endings, never losing hope, and the power of faith. Diane's heaviest vocal influences were Bonnie Raitt, Stevie Nicks and Karen Carpenter. An announcer once introduced her as “a voice as smooth as warm butta". She was an integral part of the Atlanta music scene before moving to Nashville with a record deal, ultimately changing paths and founding Nashville Unleashed with Jack in 2008. Nashville Unleashed is a highly unique, intimate, Dinner Concert Series which features Jack & Diane and the 35 Independent Artists that make up their Official Roster.
