March 17th Jake Morrell at Kingskerswell Parish Church Doors 7pm 01803 875527 or worldunlimited.co.uk
Jake Morrellcould have come straight out of Nashville, or even from the Californian
sunshine, as his music suggests; but Jake is from Norfolk, England!
Jake was
‘discovered’ by Dermot O’Leary, who featured him on his Radio 2 Show. One
influential listener just so happened to be Glastonbury boss Emily Eavis, who immediately
asked Jake to perform at the iconic festival.
Jake recorded
his debut single with London based producer Brett Shaw (Florence & The
Machine, The Kooks & Dry the River). The song entitled “Wire and Thorns”
reached No.2 in the iTunes country charts on the first day of release.
This led to
Jake being invited to perform at this year’s Country 2 Country festival, where
he premiered his first major single, the appropriately titled ‘Englishman
(Trying to Write a Country Song)’ – written and produced with the
Grammy-winning writer/producer Kipper.
The reaction
to the song put Jake firmly in line as one of the country’s favourite new male
artists in the genre.This lead to a string of both solo and band shows and
festivals throughout the summer with Jake showing himself to be as irresistible
as a solo act as he is with his band.
The most
exciting new development, however, is the new music that Jake has now recorded
to launch the next phase of his career. This is led by the joyous forthcoming
single, ‘Home’, written and produced with Rolling Stones keyboardist, Matt
Clifford. With an evocative mix of Mumfords, Eagles and even Springsteen,
‘Home’ is the definitive track that firmly stamps Jake Morrell’s name across
the UK country music scene.
