About Me


Upcoming Events by Eventful

Son Jack Jr is a guitarist and singer/songwriter based in Seattle, WA. He has a deep passion for the blues with a particular feeling for Delta blues which he plays on National Resophonic and Martin guitars.

Son Jack Jr grew up in London, England and has been playing guitar since the age of 9. In the late 1970's and early 1980's he recorded and toured extensively in the UK but stepped out of the music business in 1983 to follow a different path.

After a 24 year hiatus he is now back and released his debut CD ("Introducing...Son Jack Jr") in 2006 which includes 9 original tracks. In February 2008 he released his 2nd CD ("When The Devil Calls") with 10 new self penned tracks.

“I love country blues and don’t hear much these days so I was happy to hear the new CD by Son Jack Jr. He must really love country blues because he sure has the feel”.
Charlie Musselwhite

" A good variety of grooves with some very solid original material. His guitar playing was strong with shades of John Lee Hooker and Blind Willie Johnson. I've become a big fan of the North Mississippi hill country music, so Poor Black Mattie really caught my ear. I like it!"
Rich Del Grosso

" Son Jack Jr. is one of the premier delta blues and roots music performers on the scene today. From the first chord on his Guitar to the first word out of his mouth, you realize that you are listening to the real deal. He is one of those rare performers that should not be missed and should be seen by anyone who is serious about their music!"
Randy Oxford
