Jack Art (& The Jack Art Band) Jack Art Paris Jack Art is a seasoned, Paris-based musician who long ago started a music career that didn’t pan out the way he had hoped. Tired of waiting around for his break, he locked away his artistic dream in a drawer. But can you really be warm when the fire inside is going out? Four years ago, Jack Art resurrected his dream, leaving the security of his old life far behind him, and at the risk of losing everything. Everything, that is, except his identity. Against all the odds, in 2017 he put out the album The Life and Times of Candy Rose. An engaging concept album through which all of his talents as a songwriter, musician and storyteller burst into the ears of anyone lucky enough to hear it. He could have left it at that and continued in that same electric, electrifying vein, but the allure of change, of defiance, made itself heard one more time. In March 2020, he‘s releasing his first solo album: the intimate and very personal The Outsider. Ten mind-blowing tracks, stripped down to their pure essentials, The Outsider is a singer-songwriter album, but with the hard-hitting sound of his classic rock roots, drawing on a maturity of language and lyrical depth reminiscent of the acoustic albums from a certain boss from New Jersey. Jack Art is an outsider. A true outsider. The kind you don’t expect to find anymore, who at a time not so long ago wouldn’t have bet on himself either. But even the outsiders, those first-cousins of the beautiful losers, end up hitting the jackpot sometimes: Even the losers get lucky sometimes… (Tom Petty).
