Over the past four decades, Jez Lowe has been one of the UK’s busiest singer-songwriters, playing for audiences the world over, either solo, (with guitar, cittern, mandolin and harmonica accompaniment), or with his long-time band The Bad Pennies. He's taken his songs of north-east England to concerts and festivals all across Europe, Canada and the USA, as well as building a sizeable following in Australia and New Zealand.
Along the way he has gathered a long list of awards and nominations, including from the BBC Folk Awards and the Sony Radio Awards. His pace and enthusiasm for writing, performing and touring show no sign of waning and his latest album, Oubliette, was released on 1 July 2025
Jez's self-penned songs are among the mostly widely sung wherever folk and acoustic music is performed around the world. The likes of Fairport Convention, The Dubliners, The Unthanks, Wizz Jones, The McCalmans, Mary Black, The Duhks, Bob Fox, The Young Uns, Enda Kenny, Cherish The Ladies, Tom McConville, The Clancys and scores more, have queued up to adopt his songs for their own repertoires. His contributions to the on-going BBC Radio series The Radio Ballads cemented this reputation, with a Sony Radio Award among the many accolades coming its way.
