Just got back from a Jack's Mannequin concert down on the docks in Boston. I must say I was very impressed. Andrew McMahon was jumping on and off his piano, getting the crowd involved during every song and in between awesome awesome concert. Here is my favorite song from them.
Andrew McMahon, frontman for Jack's Mannequin and former frontman for Something Corporate, has really been though rough times. The name for Jack's Mannequin cames from younger brother of a friend of McMahons who was diagnosed and a form of childhood leukemia. In 2005 he was Diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (Abbreviated ALL and my own grandfather passed away from ALL). McManons fight with ALL took several years but he has made a full recovery. With songs like "Swim" and "Dear Jack" you get a glimpse into what he was dealing with and what he was thinking. Dear Jack is written for the original Jack and Swim is all about surviving even when hope is dwindling. Full of inspired lyrics and staggering amounts of talent on the keys, Jack's Mannequin is one of my favorite bands. On October 4th they'll be releasing their new album, People and Things, so be sure to check it out.
