EXCITING NEWS: We are thrilled to announce that Singer-songwriter, Jack West will be performing at EPN New York Fashion Week during the 8:00 pm Couture Show!
With a touring resume that includes performances at the BottleRock Festival in Napa, CA, followed by appearance at the 50th Woodstock Celebration in Bethel, NY, and at famed rock photographer Danny Clinch’s Transparent Gallery in Asbury Park, NJ, Jack West is more than ready to hit the stage at EPN NYFW!
At 18 years old, he released a music video around his re-imagining of Simple Minds’ “Don’t You Forget About Me,” featuring a full-blown Breakfast Club homage, filmed by director Patrick McBride, who has worked with Kanye West, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Beyonce.
Recently, West launched a modeling career that has seen him featured in New York Times’ fashion spreads.
He continues to push his music career, with a new single, the acoustic “Undealt,” debuting on all major DSPs. The song is a young man’s attempt to make sense of the world while adopting his own philosophy, “Keeping my head held down/Keeping my eyes on the ground,” he sings. “Changing all around/Nobody knows the way/Keeping my thoughts to myself/Keeping my cards undealt.”
West was barely 13 when he wrote “Old Soul,” releasing a 2019 debut, For the Record, a 2020 live EP, Live at Easy Street Records from a performance at the famed Seattle retail store, along with a collaboration with a series of singles, including “Missing Out,” featuring a solo by Pearl Jam’s Mike McCreedy.
Numb showed another side to West’s music, a psychedelic album he called “dream-pop acid music,” which included a trippy cover of the Doors’ “Love Street,” with nods to ‘80s Brit synthpop, lo-fi and the folk-acoustic guitar of “Goodbye LA.”
Or, as he puts it in “Undealt,” “Life is what happens with plans that you make/Do something good, you’ll have no one to blame/So we take what we have from the best/And we leave what we got from the rest.”
