These are not your grammy’s bedtime stories –
though she’ll nod in approval.

Jack and The Glory and the Rest of the Stories breathes
bold new life into the Bahamian classics we thought we
knew, retelling them with fresh rhythm, relevance, and wit.
What was once upon a time is now once again – re-imagined
for a new generation but rooted in the true flavors of the
islands. Culture captured.

This ambitious collection brings together the heartbeats
and hush tones of Bahamian lore, mixing history’s
mysteries, faith with fantasy, and the wild with the
wonderful – some things old, new and Bahama-
waters-blue. From the hidden meanings behind ring-play
songs to tales of a longstanding pirate culture, a no-good
stepmother, and jook-jook corners’ rivalries “fighting
like cat and dog,” every story carries a quiddity of who
we are.

A sun-soaked, soul-filled tellabration of culture and
character, delivered with back-stories that have never been told
– bridging generations and uniting divides.

Sun. Sand. Storytelling!
