JJ
Jack Jonaitis
Jack Jonaitis, the six-string sorcerer and fearless leader of JJ & The Bad Habits, riffs with the precision of a rocket scientist and the soul of a Colorado mountain storm. Born under the wide skies of the Centennial State, Jack traded equations for electric guitars, leaving behind a career in aerospace to chase the call of rock ‘n’ roll. A tone-chasing gearhead, he’s obsessed with custom guitars and vintage amps, crafting sounds that roar like a V8 and shimmer like a desert mirage. Based in Southwest Florida, Jack fronts the grooviest band around, with their alligator head mascot grinning from the stage—a nod to the swampy, untamed spirit of their music. Whether shredding solos or steering the Bad Habits’ wild ride, Jack’s the spark that ignites every show, blending cosmic cool with a bad-ass vibe.


Dave Nichols
Bad Habit
Dave Nichols, the heartbeat of JJ & The Bad Habits, lays down grooves as smooth as a Gulf breeze and as fierce as a New York winter. Dave cut his teeth drumming across the Northeast’s rock scene in the ‘70s and ‘80s, channeling the raw energy of those stages into every beat. He traded city lights for mountain highs during a stint in Colorado, soaking up the free-spirited vibes that still echo in his rhythms. For 15 years, Dave called a boat home, navigating life’s waves with the same cool precision he brings to the kit. Now anchored in Southwest Florida, he’s the rock-solid pulse of the grooviest band around, weaving stories of the road, sea, and soul into every performance. Catch him behind the drums, where he turns time into magic for JJ & The Bad Habits.
