Introducing Jack McManus…

I’ve been working with Jack for a while now as he’s been preparing to release his debut album ‘Either Side of Midnight’ which is out on Polydor Records on May 5th and is preceded by debut single ‘Bang On The Piano’ on April 21st. Many people are comparing Jack to a young Billie Joel or Elton John and I can see why.

He’s got some great upbeat hook-laden pop tunes, the kind of songs that you can’t but help tap your foot to, sing-along to, and battle to get out of your head for days after you’ve heard them! When I first heard the un-mastered version of his album I found myself singing the songs round and round in my head for days afterwards – surely a good sign?

I caught Jack playing live in November when he was supporting Scouting For Girls and I think his live show will be equally as good as his recorded efforts once he begins touring properly.Check out the video above of Jack performing album track ‘Fine Time’ on his trusty piano, and download another album track ‘Not The Hardest Part’ from Jack’s website.
