January 6th, 2023 (Nashville, TN): Nashville indie and pop-punk riser Jack The Underdog releases new ‘Acoustic Variants’ EP, featuring live acoustic versions of his singles “Junkie,” “high holiday,” “Hate That 4 Me,” “Dolly,” “scared of you,” “Conversation,” and “Wastin’ Away.”

‘Acoustic Variants’ is a project that consists of Jack covering his previously released songs, and providing them with a newer take regarding the instrumentation/production. As opposed to his standard punk rock take on these songs, Jack leans on acoustic instruments, including the acoustic guitar, to give these songs a unique and fresh approach. The range Jack displays through all genres is impressive, and will continue to open doors for the “authentically himself” artist.

Jack The Underdog began his career as Jack Ohmes, writing songs in his hometown of Saint Paul, Minnesota. Music has always been in his bones – beginning at a young age, Jack took piano lessons, played in the school orchestra, picked up other instrument lessons, and attended School of Rock, where he was coached on performance and songwriting. Just a few years later, he formed a band with his high school peers called Painting Stars. As he began to emerge as Jack The Underdog, Jack’s music led him to Nashville as he continued his music education at Belmont University. Jack majored in songwriting and music business and minored in social justice. Within his first few months in Nashville, Jack and his band, Painting Stars, were given the opportunity to open for the punk rock group The Story So Far.

Formerly, Jack The Underdog’s songs, “Dolly,” “Hard To Read,” “Sleepless,” and “Writing My Future” have been featured on popular Minnesota radio stations. His song “Dolly” gained popularity on the social platform Tik Tok as it was being used by popular content creators.

With the release of “Wastin’ Away” in March of 2022, Jack The Underdog established himself in the pop-punk genre. He continues to represent the underdogs, finding ways to aid people however he can. Inspired by his mother’s battle with cancer, Jack donated all of the proceeds generated by one of his songs to Gilda’s Club, a support community for those living with cancer. Jack also works full-time at a non-profit that works to prevent sexual violence across the state of Tennessee.

Jack most recently released a smash single  “Conversation,” featuring none other than Kellin Quinn of Sleeping With Sirens.

Jack released his ‘Acoustic Variants’ EP as the first project of a stellar line-up of music for 2023.
