Jack
McManaman
guitarist/composer

Having been professionally performing, recording, writing, and teaching for nearly 10 years,  I've had many opportunities to pursue my interests and take my career in different and interesting directions.

 

As a performer, I've toured nationally with artists across varied genre lines and have enjoyed playing big rooms and festivals, to small clubs and DIY venues.

 

As a composer, I've written music for short films featured at independent film festivals, and have been able to write and coproduce music for indie artists Warper and Mofie. 

 

In 2023, I was hired by the Colorado Symphony Orchestra and the San Diego Symphony Orchestra to arrange Cypress Hill's legendary multiplatinum record Black Sunday for the band's orchestra performances across the country. That show was played by both the CSO and SDSO, as well as the Portland Symphony Orchestra, Nashville Symphony Orchestra  and others. Amazingly the show was also taken overseas to be played with the London Symphony Orchestra at Royal Albert Hall.

 

As an educator, I've helped facilitate masterclasses at the University of Colorado Denver and the University of Northern Colorado, and have been teaching privately for many years, both here in CO and online across the country.
