The ghosts of Christmas past are chased away by New Jersey singer/songwriter Jack Skuller’s high-energy new seasonal song, “Stuck in This Holiday” — though it also shows he knows his history.  The 20-year-old singer-songwriter, who has been performing since his debut single at age 14 and was picked for a Radio Disney tour soon after, went on a different kind of journey to get to “This Holiday.” All the way to Memphis, Tennessee and the roots of rock, where Jack visited and did a session at Sun Studios (legendary home of Howlin’ Wolf, Elvis Presley and others). Working with local Memphis musicians and taking the lead on vocals, guitar and harmonica, Jack absorbed the atmosphere of the area’s musical mythology and cut two songs, his own “Stuck in This Holiday” (co-written with acclaimed indie guitarist and leading man of the Tall Pines alt-Americana duo, Christmas Davis), and Floyd Dixon’s 1950s classic “Empty Stocking Blues.” Jack taps the timeless heartache of such songs while bringing a blast of sound that is pure present-day club-rock adrenaline. “This Holiday” is a punkabilly 3-minute epic of Christmastime loneliness, and “Empty Stocking” a master class in haunted hollering blues.  The character in Jack’s song may be “Stuck in This Holiday” — but his music is anything but stuck in the past.
“the future is looking bright for the James Dean-like Skuller.” - POPULARtv
"It’s analog, vintage, and cool, but with a sincerity missing from a lot of the ironic throwback recordings of the hipster sphere. We sense a lot of potential in this budding songwriter." - AMERICAN SONGWRITER 
"JACK SKULLER is a teen idol in the wrong era. He’s got all the makings of a 1950s rocker. He’s also got the looks of a jukebox hero." - THE DELI 
"The retro cool stud performed a track for A-Sides, and talked about the song, his music style, and influences. The world could use another cool guy named Jack." - HUFFINGTON POST/A-SIDES
