Hi I am a Bristol based singer-songwriter and producer and run my own mini label Blue Balloon Records. I've realised two albums Kathy's, Lost In The Wilderness and The Handkerchief Lady. These are available through ITunes Amazon etc.

I perform mainly in the Bristol area on a regular basis so keep posted on my Facebook and other pages for gigs.

In the past I have played at The Glastonbury Festival, Canny Wizard Stage, Bristol Community Festival, St Georges Hall, The Bristol Harbour Festival, The 12 Bar Club in London and numerous other venues. I've done many local and internet radio interviews and happy to do more to promote my music.

Recently I have also been writing for tv and film libraries and have music place with a number of UK companies producing such music. Examples of my instrumental music are here too and there are some videos of me playing on my YouTube Channel.

                                                                                        JACK'S BIO

After attending a Miles Davis concert, he was swept into the jazz scene of the 70s. Though originally from Ohio, it was in Miami where he met bassist, Mark Egan (Pat Metheny Band) and drummer Stu Nevitt of Shadowfax, along with many other great players. "Most importantly, I took bass lessons from a "then unknown" Jaco Pastorius. I also spent many evenings in local clubs listening to saxophonist, Ira Sullivan, who inspired me to later play sax."

Jack returned to Ohio and joined THE SOURCE. This alternative rock band put 2 EPs in the top 20 of the CMJ National college charts. THE SOURCE was part of the Akron Sound that included heavy weights Devo and Chrissy Hynde. 

When THE SOURCE broke up in 1986, Jack packed up and headed west to California. He settled first in San Francisco. "It was at this time that I made a conscious shift from bass guitar to saxophone. Improvisation was key to the sound I was striving for."

His next band, IN THE POCKET! was a jazz fusion band that allowed Jack to continue experimenting with blending sounds. It was a short lived project, but the band's album, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN PRESENTING IN THE POCKET! was nominated for consideration by the Grammy® committee.

Jack presently resides in Oakland, CA. "This city IS a musical hub. I have my own studio, and have released 4 CD's on my own record label. I supply the sax and bass, as well as the midi keyboards, production and engineering on most of my tracks. I blend samples, loops, special effects and assorted electronic rhythms with the ever present improvisational spirit of jazz. I guess you'd call it  Nujazz. "

Jack also has supplied soundtrack music for 4 independent movie releases, blending jazz, drum n' bass, electronica, reggae, and world music. "I feel a bit like a mad scientist in his lab as I try to push the envelope of these tunes, but what a good time!"

what the critics say about Råberg’s earlier releases

"For sheer output, it's astounding. And the depth of expression and degree of surprise represented here is remarkable" (Bill Milkowski – JazzTimes)

“Raberg composes to the strengths of his band and, with a band this accomplished, he has a lot to work with. He is, also, an excellent soloist with a great command of his acoustic bass.” (Richard Kamins – Courant.com)

Music is my passion there's nothing else to say, I mainly repost Jazz and Blues Tracks sometime Pop, I am not particularly interested in House Techno Hip Pop,etc.
