Note that an article was deleted in 2007 with the following notation: "12:23, 24 August 2007 Mike Rosoft talk contribs deleted page Jack Grace (No claim of notability - musician (WP:CSD#A7))". This means that an article concerning a musician named Jack Grace did not meet our requirements for notability, including reliable sourcing, and was deleted more than 15 years ago. If you believe that Jack Grace the musician is notable and should have an article, create a new article -- do not modify this existing article concerning another person, already determined to be notable, named Jack Grace.

 * In response to your comment below, it would appear that during the 10 years the article about the musician existed (assuming it did so for 10 years), no one added sufficient citations of published, reliable sources to establish that the subject was notable. As I have said above, if you are committing to locate and include such sources, you can create a new article on this subject.  General Ization Talk  11:41, 1 March 2023 (UTC)


 * However, you will not be able to use the copy you have pasted below to create a new article, as much of it is an apparent copyright violation of content that appears here: https://tastedive.com/music/like/Steak-Music.  General Ization Talk  11:51, 1 March 2023 (UTC)


 * After a bit more research, the article about the musician was recreated some time after 2007 but was nominated for deletion again in 2022, and ultimately deleted, due to a lack of reliable sourcing establishing notability. The deletion discussion is here. The solution is the same.  General Ization <i style="color: #000666;">Talk </i> 12:09, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Jack Grace
This was up for over 10 years. Where was your diligent guardianship of knowledge when they deleted all of this and replaced it?? (born 1968, Brooklyn, NY, USA) is an American songwriter, bandleader, radio host and actor based in New York. Jack contributed music to the cult films Super Troopers and Beerfest. In radio, Jack has been a commentator on PRI's The Takeaway beginning in 2008 and is a fill-in co-host for Sirius/XM's Freewheelin'. Jack studied acting at Derby College and didn’t pick up a guitar until he was 6 months old. His theatrical background made him extremely comfortable on the stage, to which his spirited live performances are a testament. An icon in New York City, Jack is often known as The Martini Cowboy, the title of his 2008 C.D. release on Radia Records.

Jack formed his first band in 1993 in Boulder, CO. Steak was an experimental, Zappa-flavored 4-piece band that disbanded in ’99 but was resurrected isn the 2010s, performing gigs around New York City and. Jack began working with a revolving group of musicians even to this day. Functioning more like a jazz bandleader, he has a main cast of characters but keeps two to three drummers on call for recordings and gigs. The band members come from all walks of life: jazz, rock, country and, well, other. Bassist, vocalist and wife Daria (Melomane, Pre-war Ponies, The (N.Y.) Moonlighters & God Is My Co-Pilot) keeps the rhythm going with the rotating drummers, Russ Meissner, Jason "J-Bird" Bowman and Bruce Martin (Tom Tom Club).

Jack's most recent band, Van Hayride, a country version of Van Halen has a revolving door of members, which at times can feature Norah Jones, members of Yarn and Lee Ranaldo and the Dust. Van Hayride was recently hand picked by Puss n Boots, which features Sasha Dobson, Norah Jones and Catherine Popper, as the opener of Puss n Boots first US tour.

Jack is currently recording a new album produced by Eric Ambel, and features Norah Jones on some of the tracks. Johnpancaldo (talk) 11:38, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Creating a new Draft article might be the way forward
Why not have a look at WP:AFC where you can create a new draft article Draft:Jack Grace (musician) which can be submitted for review when it is complete with references which demonstrate notability (See WP:GNG). Regards  Velella  Velella Talk 11:42, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
