Yorkshire folk singer Jack Rutter has established himself as one of the standout voices of the folk, roots and acoustic music scene in recent years. A hugely engaging stage presence, his soaring vocal, powerhouse guitar and bou-zouki playing and masterful arrangements of traditional songs and contemporary co-vers have enthralled audiences from the largest festival main stages to the most inti-mate folk clubs.
This year sees the release of his critically acclaimed third album This Is Something Constant, a compelling and spellbinding showcase of gripping story ballads and up-beat festival-stage firecrackers, perfectly pitched and delivered with soaring, crystal clear vocals that breathe new life into ancient tales.
‘Jack Rutter is one of the most enthralling folk singers, guitarists & musicians on the British folk scene today – with This Is Something Constant, the final release in a trilogy, he has hit the highest watermark to date.’ – Folk Radio UK

‘We come to the album on the back of a stirring solo set at Manchester Folk Fes-tival, when Jack fired out a volley of songs that took no prisoners and demanded the attention of a late-night club crowd. The fact that he’s armed with a power-house of an acoustic Gibson that’s his main weapon of choice which he bran-dishes with glee, makes him a potent performer.’ – Louder Than War Magazine
‘A fabulous album – like the first time I heard Martin Carthy on disc I’m enthralled by every track’ – Mike Harding

“Their original songs have a slick, contemporary musicianship underlying
them, their tasteful instrumentation always helping to bring their rootsy subject matter to life” Folk and Honey UK.
