jackrabbit featuring Dermot Mulroney

jackrabbit is the Americana-tinged country band co-led by actor-musicians Dermot Mulroney and his brother Kieran Mulroney. Cowriting and performing together, the brothers blend twangy guitars, layered harmonies, and emotion-rich lyrical storytelling to create what they term a “Cali-Country” vibe—drawing inspiration from the Bakersfield sound, the Eagles, and the soft-rock tradition of California’s Sunset Strip.

An interview in Atwood Magazine underscores that jackrabbit is more than a side project—it’s “where all the pieces finally come together,” shaped over decades by shared history and deep creative instincts.

Their lineup includes the Mulroney brothers along with Sebastian Sheehan, Matt McFadden, and Henry Quirion, rounding out a five‑piece band delivering an authentic, emotional musical experience.
