Jack Broadbent releases new single + UK dates
Jack Broadbent has a new video and single ‘If’ available. The track is from his excellent ‘Moonshine Blue’ album that received great reviews late last year. Since the album release, Jack has been keeping busy on the road with a run of dates that included shows opening for Rolling Stones legend Ronnie Wood. Jack will be hitting the road again in May opening for Peter Frampton and also has a show booked at the Black Deer Festival (a festival that comes very highly recommended). More about Jack and those tour dates follow:
Jack Broadbent released his acclaimed new album ‘Moonshine Blue’ in November 2019 on CD and digitally, and played a number of dates with Ronnie Wood to support its initial UK release. A vinyl format of the record has now been made available to coincide with a single from the album entitled ‘If’ and the announcement of five UK shows in May with Peter Frampton that precede his appearance at the Black Deer Festival in Kent in mid-June.
The young singer-songwriter has already been wowing audiences internationally for years with his unique blend of virtuosic acoustic and slide guitar playing, as well as his poignant folk and blues inspired vocals. His fourth studio release, ‘Moonshine Blue’ is a sylistically wide-ranging set of songs.
“I’ve always seen my writing as a chance to cross genres and styles so for me this album is no different. I wanted to pull in more of my passion for folk and jazz into this record while still keeping the blues very close to its heart. I try not to dictate an album based on any musical continuity. I like to let the right songs find their way to the top of the pile”

Jack Broadbent’s 2019 album ‘Moonshine Blue’ was an impressive release that found the singer and guitarist dabbling in various genres. Jack wasn’t a slave to his reputation as an excellent slide guitarist and bluesman and seemed content to go wherever his muse took him to showcase his talents as a singer, songwriter or, as I put it, folky troubadour. For his latest release, at least at first glance, he’s seemingly sticking to the blues, but there are still plenty of twists and turns along the way on what might well turn out to be his best and most cohesive release yet.
