Bio

Fast developing into one the most accomplished and exciting young performers on the roots scene today, Jack Blackman's music has been described as ‘exceptional’ by Whispering Bob Harris (BBC Radio 2). He has performed his songs all across the country and as far as the Mississippi Delta. Having cut his teeth in his teens trading licks with such luminaries as Paul Jones and The Blues Band, Tony Joe White and more recently receiving accolades from Sadler Vaden (Jason Isbell's 400 Unit) and Martin Simpson who marvelled, ‘At last! A brilliant young guitarist coming through’, Jack is no stranger to blues and folk. On his latest album, 'Too South For Heaven', he fuses this with country, rock and pop with a voice that has been described as sounding 'older and more careworn than his tender years should allow' (Acoustic Magazine).
