London

Jack Cheshire´s contemporary alt-folk sound with a post-rock twist has led him to share bills with luminary peers Songhoy Blues and Josh T Pearson, and grace the stages of The Green Man Festival and Kings Place. The ghosts of Nick Drake and Syd Barrett skirt the edges of his songs, embellished by what Uncut magazine calls an ´Ian McCulloch-style croon´, with a ´burnished psychedelia [that] takes this music to the skies´. He released his 2017 album “Black Light Theatre´ to universal press and radio acclaim, making fans of 6 Music´s Lauren Laverne and Tom Robinson along the way.
