straightjacket

Marc Bourassa (lead guitar) began his career in the actual '90s with the Boston-based cover band Mad Cow, and reignited his musical passion with the addition of Jason Small (vocals), Ian Costello (rhythm guitar) and Andrew O'Neil-Smith (bass) in 2017 to form the 90's rock cover band, StraightJacket. With the addition of Eddie Marshall (drums) in 2023, StraightJacket is ready to take you back to the glory days of Nickelodeon and Nirvana!

From the genre-pioneering sound of Pearl Jam to the moody melodies of Matchbox 20, StraightJacket brings to life the music that defined a decade. Our shows include dozens of '90s pop-rock hits and run the gamut from alternative/grunge to ska-punk! Recent additions to our sets include classics from No Doubt, Jane's Addiction, Stone Temple Pilots, Smashing Pumpkins, and Boston's own Mighty Mighty Bosstones.

We aim to play the best music of the 90's for audiences that share our love for the power and nostalgia of an era past, along with some favorites from before and after. Our belief is that good music is ageless, as long as it makes you move! If you catch us live, make sure to write your favorites on our request board.  We learn new songs all the time to nourish the '90s kid in everyone!
