“I couldn’t overcome feeling I’d been dropped into the novel world of Cormac McCarthy’s gritty western fiction meets pure Southern Gothic. Lyrics are imbued with a straightforward clarity and darkness. Melodies echo universal hard-scrabble characters and striking vistas….You can nearly feel the fading heart, the grieving, the loss, the warm fluids running across cold fingers.” - Refueled Magazine

Jack Stinziano is a multi-instrumentalist from Syracuse, NY. He’s known by many creative personas- Matsui, Trainspotting, and Midnight Jack to name a few. By the age of 16 Jack was self producing demo tapes under the name Matsui. 4 years later, he’d come to be one of the most noteable and requested original musicians in the underground Syracuse music scene, opening for punk shows at long standing venues like the Barn and headlining innumerable shows for Syracuse’s own living room folk series by the Candlelight Collective. Jacks music is anything but traditional. It’s raw and transcendental, skillfully walking the thin line between highly personal and universally relatable. Jacks acoustic songs are like water, constantly changing form. He combines a deep and timeless voice with interesting lyrics to pull listeners in. Jack is a family man who loves to cook traditional Roman pastas for his loved ones. An old soul, Jack is one of those guys who can talk to anyone. Currently involved in no less than 3 different musical projects playing guitar in Misty Mountain Midnight, and Nightwork, and drums in Dale, in addition to working on his own original music, in 2025 Jacks music inspired the inception of the Syracuse’s newest record label “Wormland Records”, which will make its debut at the iconic funk and waffles.
