ABOUT JACK KAY
Jack grew up on a dairy farm in Buda, Tx.

He attended Texas A&M studying Business - Computer Systems

He founded his own consulting company, KConsulting, in Austin which led him to Design, Build , Train, Manage and Support enterprise class , best of breed systems for clients, from 10-500 servers and 10 -50,000 users. Technologies include VMware, Microsoft, Unix, Linux, Cisco.

All the while Jack was also playing guitar and leading singing in bands around Austin and also touring. In fact I met Jack when girlfriend Debbie Beinhorn brought him to the MIDEM suite at the 4 Seasons in Austin during SXSW. They helped me get ready for one of the many suite parties I had while marketing for MIDEM.

Jack has a great voice and It’s very high. I was suggested by Debbie (a voice coach) that he be my demo singer for the Billy character of my Give Me A Break Musical. He set a standard so high that was hard for the actors who came later to live up to. I love the tracks he layed.

Jack is so creative that he designed and patented amplifiers that produce vintage analog tone, founding another company, Tx-Watt Amps which Jack is gonna tell you all about tonight.

Jack currently lives in Dripping Springs where I’ve spent a few heavenly days swimming and watching the deer wander his property.
