London based Jack J Hutchinson has played from Brazil to Russia, Spain, France and all across the UK, selling out shows along the way. His band have blown the roof off of festival stages at Ramblin’ Man Fair and Planet Rockstock and have also supported the likes of Monster Truck, Kris Barras Band, Big Boy Bloater and the LiMiTs, The Nimmo Brothers and more.
2019s ‘Who Feeds The Wolf?’ hit the Amazon #1 spot in the Blues Album chart and was met with critical acclaim with Total Guitar highlighting Hutchinson’s “countrified riffs served with extra fuzz, heart and soul” comparing him to Rival Sons and The Black Crowes. Planet Rock Magazine called it “one of the strongest debuts by a British Artist this year,” Powerplay said it was “brilliance from a man standing out in a genre brimming with talent,” whilst Classic Rock hailed an album that was “bulging with hooks.” The latter also put the single ‘Justified’ at #14 in the songs of 2019 calling it “game-raising” with “a tasty, woozy mesh of grunge and heavy rock’n’roll.” They’ve also picked up the attention of Zakk Wylde, who went on to share the song.
They steamrolled through the latter part of 2019 with songs playlisted on Feedback Radio and Primordial Radio, with also multiple spins on Planet Rock Radio, where the band were also nominated in the stations’ ‘The Rocks’ 2020 Award for Best New Band.
The band also featured on the New Wave of Rock N Roll compilation (Earache Records), which reached #10 in the Vinyl Chart – knocking Nirvana’s ‘Nevermind’ out of the Top 10 – and #42 in the official album charts with Classic Rock hailing Hutchinson’s “frantic howl” citing a nod towards The White Stripes.
The band have not been deterred during the current lockdown, they have embraced it; putting together a 50 Fan Voices Choir for a mammoth ‘live’ version of their single ‘Sleep, Awake, Obey!’ plus been hosting live acoustic gigs and Q+As, they did a HRH Radio take over and Hutchinson has now also become a regular presenter on Feedback Radio.
