Jackdaw is a Celtic-Rock band from Buffalo, NY. One of the group's members, George Tutuska, was a former drummer for the Goo Goo Dolls.^[1] The band formed in 2000, when George started the group with some childhood friends. Coming from a South Buffalo-Irish background, the group wanted to play rock with an Irish bent (often called "Irish-Rock" or "Celtic-Rock"). In keeping with that theme, the band took its name from a passage from the Frank McCourt memoir Angela's Ashes.

Mike Jordan, who performed vocals and played the guitar, left the band in November 2004. The band has remained a five-piece group ever since. In 2006, a compilation of their first three albums and EPs entitled Brilliant, Sad & Guilty was released. The two disc album includes interviews, live tracks, and studio outtakes.

Jackdaw lovingly refers to its most devout followers as the "Jacks" and "Jackies"

Jackdaw has won Buffalo's Best Rock Band (and on one occasion beating fellow nominee the Goo Goo Dolls), presented by the free publication Artvoice, in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007. Member David A. Moore has also won Buffalo's Best Musician, and been nominated for "King of Charisma", as well as "Best Individual Vocalist". Thursday at the Square]]. In July 2007, the band opened for Pete Best and his band at Club Infinity in Williamsville, NY.

As of February 2, 2008, the band has been on "indefinite hiatus"
