Jack Bukowski

About

Jack Bukowski is a London based singer songwriter, born and raised in the rural midlands. He miss spent his youth hammering away at an old six string guitar and homing the songwriting talent that he has today. In his early twenties he made the big move to london where he has been ever since, in love with the cities diversity as much now as he was then.

 

“I guess there will always be a part of me that’s left behind in the country, and I still have strong roots in folk music at heart, but london was the place that i really started forging my craft, and made me the musician that I am today.”

 

Although Jack refuses to be pinned down into to any specific genre there is undoubtedly a strong blues influence to his work and an unexpected literary connection to his songwriting, the beat writers of the early sixties being a major theme in the subject matter of his music. 

 

“I really admire the work of the early blues men of the fifties like BB King and Howlin’ Wolf, and my lyrics are defiantly inspired by the work of my favourite authors, Jack Kerouac is a bit of a hero of mine, not just because of his writing but also because of the way he chose to live is life. There’s never a copy of ‘On The Road’ far from reach at my place.”

 

Jack Bukowski has a self released E.P. out now titled ‘Cigarette blues’ which is available to download on iTunes or on bandcamp for free. All proceeds going into the funding of his next project.
