SUMMARY:Jack Goodall and SAMduo
DESCRIPTION:A welcome back to Bromsgrove’s Jack Goodall\, this year he will be supported by the equally fantastic SAMduo\n  \n \nJack Goodall performs his own kind of music\, contemporary yet inspired by an array of different artists. Having studied under and jammed with blues performers Ian Siegal and Aynsley Lister and Afrobeat star Dele Sosimi\, Jack displays these stylistic influences in his own music while melodically and lyrically very much doing his own thing. He has toured the UK\, Ireland and Canada playing both solo and with Canadian band The Hoop\, formed during his time as a student in Windsor\, Ontario. \nAs well as releasing three solo albums\, in 2021 Goodall released Out Of Here with The Kick\, a band formed during lockdown\, who became a formidable force at live shows. \nGoodall’s most recent solo album\, Ort forges ahead with the kind of infectious afrobeat demonstrated in No Reply but also delves into a wide array of sounds influenced not only by the likes of Fela Kuti and Curtis Mayfield but Eurythmics and John Cale. \nAs well as his own music he’s also played on and produced David Freja’s record Strom and another upcoming Freja album\, plus releases by Karen Swan\, Dominic Hyde and Wildflower. In 2018 he also worked with theatre company Extant and Birmingham’s REP providing the music for the play/multi-sensory experience The Sense Of You. \n  \n“Beautiful music\, I love it”  – Guy Garvey\, Elbow\, BBC 6 Music \n“The best live act in the West Midlands\, 2019”  – Songwall \n“Awesome”  – Boris Palekh\, Gogol Bordello and Hey Guy \n  \nSandra and Martin from SAM Photo credit Jo Allen\nSupporting JACK GOODALL will be SAMduo: Mood exploration. Songs from the heart. \nMartin and Sandy from SAM band will be performing songs drawing on their love of blues\, classic soul\, jazz and singer songwriter genres. They present an intriguing and truly mixed set of covers and quality originals with soulful vocals and a variety of moods and grooves. Moody\, fun\, entertaining and entirely accessible\, SAM are a must see act. \nFind out more about SAM on:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SAMBandUK \nWebpage: https://360-vision.art/SAM/index.htm \n  \nAdmittance: £8.00 (Advanced) – £10.00 (On the door) \n  \n
