Jackopierce brings 35 years of harmonies and energy to Fairfield Theatre Company

Jackopierce, the iconic folk-rock duo of Jack O’Neill and Cary Pierce, will take the StageOne at Fairfield Theatre Company on Saturday, February 7, 2026, for what promises to be a high-energy evening celebrating more than three decades of music.

Formed in 1988 while the pair were theater students at Southern Methodist University’s Meadows School of the Arts in Dallas, Jackopierce quickly gained a following with their lush harmonies and dynamic performances. Within five years, they signed with A&M Records and recorded their debut album, Bringing on the Weather, with renowned producer T Bone Burnett.

Over the years, the duo has toured extensively, performing in nine countries and 46 U.S. states, sharing the stage with artists including John Mayer, Dave Matthews, Sheryl Crow, Counting Crows, and Lyle Lovett. After a brief five-year hiatus, Jackopierce reunited in 2002 and has remained active ever since, delighting fans with a mix of classic hits and fresh material.

Today, the duo continues to release new music monthly, fueled by a renewed creative energy and a deep bond forged over 35 years of collaboration. Known for their “spotless harmonies,” as noted by the Dallas Morning News, Jackopierce’s live shows are celebrated for their infectious energy and heartfelt performances.

Cary Pierce describes the enduring partnership: “Even after 35 years I feel like we’re just getting started.” Jack O’Neill adds, “I love this guy like a brother.” Fans in Fairfield can expect a night of nostalgia, musicianship, and the camaraderie that has kept Jackopierce a beloved fixture in the folk-rock scene for decades.
