‘Blues has a bright future’ – Maverick Magazine

At only 19, Jack Blackman is fast developing into one the most accomplished and exciting performers on the acoustic roots scene today. His guitar playing has been described as ‘exquisite' (FATEA Magazine, 2013), and his songs have been generating a great deal of attention from many in the music industry.

Although always haunted by the ghosts of the blues, Jack’s music fuses this with classy song writing and a folk sensibility. His voice has been described as sounding ‘older and more careworn than his tender years should allow’ (Acoustic Magazine, 2011), and he is also arguably the best slide guitar player of his generation.

Testimonials
Working with Nick was an absolute pleasure, from the first time I cold-called him right through to launching the EP we made together. His experience as both a musician and a producer really helped me get to grips with the process, whether it was suggesting minor edits to song structure or talking through different techniques for getting the snare sound I was after. He has a remarkable attention to detail and a 'no bullshit' approach, which suited me perfectly. As a relative novice it was also great to work with someone who made me feel totally comfortable and encouraged - Nick gave me confidence in what I was doing and even got me singing harmonies, despite my protestations! He also makes an excellent cup of coffee. I can't recommend him highly enough and I can't wait to make the next one.
