Coming from Colorado Springs to perform in Jamestown, the country band Patchwork Jack will be headed to the Jamestown Mercantile, located at 108 Main Street in Jamestown, on Saturday, March 13, 2026, starting at 7 p.m.!


The music of Patchwork Jack reflects the band’s name: Despite origins in folk, their sound also includes the influences of Texas country, Latin ballads, and Romani swing.

The band’s name primarily comes from the main songwriter and guitarist, Shane “Bob” Lory, who released a solo folk song called “Patchwork Jack” before the band’s formation.

“That idea got bouldered into the full band once we got more people involved,” states Lory, “Patchwork sort of representing a fusion of genres and influences from all over the place. And Jack… we used to call each other Jack in high school. Everyone was Jack, so the Patchwork is all-inclusive. Anyone can hop on.”
