Jack Broadbent - Winner of the 2025 Boisdale Jazz/Blues Artist of the Year Award, presented by Jools Holland.
Broadbent is no ordinary singer songwriter. He can break your heart and then turn around and set the world on fire. Combining elements of Blues, Folk, Rock n Roll and Jazz, Broadbent carries a lineage of true artistry into the 2000s that sets him apart from the rest.
His initial rise to fame was for his unique and explosive slide guitar playing. This notoriety was quickly solidified by his superb songwriting. Broadbent went from busking the streets of Europe to smashing the world stage alongside some of the biggest names in rock n roll.
In 2018, Broadbent performed as a guest at the launch party for the Rolling Stones curated blues compilation, “Confessin’ the Blues” in London. This lead to a tour opening for Ronnie Wood across the UK, with Wood crediting Broadbent with “keeping the flag flying”.
Legendary southern rockers Lynyrd Skynyrd simply call him “badass” after he wowed audiences across America on a full stadium tour.
A recent tour found Broadbent being invited to join Sheryl Crow onstage during an open air performance in Madrid, Spain. Playing the famous slide guitar part on her 90’s smash hit “All I Wanna Do”.
Broadbent also notably opened for Peter Frampton on his farewell tour across Europe with Frampton himself praising Broadbent as “a wonderful player”.
In the summer of '25, Broadbent opened for Bryan Adams, alongside Texas, at the Musicos en la Naturelza Festival in Gredos, Spain.
Broadbent has thrilled audiences on the international festival circuit, including Montreux Jazz Festival where he was hailed as “the new master of the slide guitar”.
After six album releases Broadbent’s range is impressive. Stylistically, it’s a perfect blend of raw emotion and yet controlled chaos, best described by Bill Payne of Little Feat and The Doobie Brothers following a recent tour.
“Jack is a true artist. He is fearless, his horizons are endless. What he shares is reflective of a someone who cares deeply, not afraid to question things, not afraid to reexamine if the situation calls for it. In short, he is sharing his life with us. I love his voice. His playing is superb, showing an almost reckless abandon when he gets revved up, he is performing on the edge, and if he falls so be it. The pieces will not break. Jack Broadbent can whisper or shout in equal order with the power and sensitivity that speak volumes. Embrace his music, his life's work. You will be amply awarded”.
– Bill Payne.
Broadbent is currently working on a new studio album at Abbey Road Studios, London.
