Jack J Hutchinson - Battles (2024)

Resilient, London-based, Fedora-sportin’ British Blues-Rocker, Jack J Hutchinson (described by Classic Rock Magazine as “a real rock contender”) announces his brand-new 10-track album, ‘Battles’.

Planet Rock praises his “… gritty, honest take on blues rock [which] comes with a flourish of biker steel”, whilst Guitarist Magazine proclaim how “Growling vocals combine with raunch ‘n’ roll acoustic and electric guitars.”

Due for release 9th February 2024, ‘Battles’ was recorded at Momentum Studios in Plymouth and produced and co-written with Josiah J Manning (Kris Barras Band, Inglorious). “Working with Josiah was an eye-opener,” Jack enthuses. “He encouraged me to write meaningful lyrics more upliftingly, and that's what this new music is. It felt like unlocking who I am as an artist.”

'Battles' is packed with anthemic lyrics of defiance and rebel strength in the face of adversity. It sees Hutchinson at his most exposed, and is charged with the power of catharsis and purging darkness and hurt. But doing so, gives Jack more strength than any record previously. It's more honest, in its songwriting, lyrics and guitar playing. It's about telling a story with the guitar and the voice.
