Jack Grisham is one of the most popular and richest Singer who was born on July 22, 1961 in Long Beach, Long Beach, United States. Jack Grisham (born July 22, 1961) is an American rock vocalist, musician, raconteur and political activist from Southern California. He is the vocalist for the punk band T.S.O.L. (True Sounds of Liberty), which emerged from the late 1970s Los Angeles hardcore punk rock scene, along with Black Flag, Circle Jerks and Bad Religion. Grisham has also fronted the bands Vicious Circle, the Joykiller, Tender Fury and Cathedral of Tears. He records with T.S.O.L., the Joykiller and the Manic Low.
Jack Grisham was born in Hayward, California and then moved to Long Beach. Grisham’s father, a career military man with 30 years in the Navy and Coast Guard, died in 1984. Grisham’s mother was a military housewife. Grisham was one of five children and has an older sister, two older brothers, and a younger sister.
Grisham has been sober since January 1989. He has two daughters, Anastasia and Georgia, and resides in Huntington Beach, California with his wife Robin and her/their three children, Dexy, MacGowan and Avalon. When not working on a music project, Grisham writes and practices hypnotherapy.
Grisham and Ron Emory formed The Joykiller in 1995 along with Billy Persons (The Weirdos/Gun Club) on bass, Ronnie King on keyboards, and Chris Lagerborg on drums. The Joykiller released three albums on Epitaph records prior to disbanding in 1998 and had a minor radio hit in the Netherlands with the song “Go-Bang.” They later released their Greatest Non-Hits in 2003.
The original T.S.O.L. broke up on January 9, 1983, following the infamous S.I.R. Studios “Sunset Strip” Riot at a headlining T.S.O.L. show featuring Redd Kross, Social Distortion, Los Olvidados. The space was filled to capacity with fans and punks alike outside the venue when violence ensued. Grisham walked away from the band and violence, which was reaching unprecedented levels. Ron Emory and Mike Roche enlisted vocalist Joe Wood, Grisham’s brother-in-law at the time to fill the void left by his absence and drummer Mitch Dean for departing drummer Todd Barnes. They played music that started as punk rock, but, with each new album changed to blues-inspired (hair metal). They spent several years touring and recording under the name T.S.O.L.
