18th March 2024 0 By Jon Deaux

Fresh off the success of his chart-topping album ‘Battles,’ Jack J Hutchinson announces an 18-date UK tour. Kicking off on March 23rd at Rockin The Blues, the tour will take in headline shows across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, concluding at Whitby Rocks Festival on November 8th. He will be joined on the run by his band, featuring Phil Wilson on drums and Charlie Rachael Kay on bass.

‘Battles,’ released in February, received widespread acclaim from both fans and critics, securing the #16 spot in the Official Independent charts—an impressive feat for an independent artist without label backing. Rock Today hailed the album as “One of the strongest and most significant releases of the year.”

Excited to bring his music to life on stage, Hutchinson shares, “Every track on the new album was crafted with live performance in mind. After nearly a year in the studio, it’s time to hit the road and share these songs across the UK and Europe over the next 6 months.

I’m particularly excited about my first headline show in Manchester, which will feel like something of a homecoming, and to be able to take these songs to Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland will feel very special.”

Hutchinson is also premiering a stripped-back acoustic version of the track ‘Constellations’. The original version was playlisted by Planet Rock on release last year, along with being named in Classic Rock’s Tracks of the Week.
