Episode 5 – Ben Harper, Big Stages, and the Lessons of the Road

In this episode, we sit down with Zee Desmondes and Teddy Powell of The Jack Moves to talk about their winding journey through the music industry. From their beginnings in the NYC skate scene to shaping their soulful sound in Newark, the duo reflects on what it takes to carve out a lane in music, sharing stories of mentorship, big tours, and their experience hitting the road with Ben Harper.

The Jack Moves open up about the failures that fueled their growth, the resilience it takes to keep going, and how they’ve stayed true to their cinematic approach to songwriting across three albums. It’s a conversation about grit, persistence, and building a career on your own terms—even when the ride gets bumpy.
