Gritty blues rock guitarist Jack J Hutchinson is pleased to announce his Soul Believer Album Launch Tour. He hits the road later this year in support of his forthcoming studio album, Soul Believer, which lands early next year.

The album will feature 10 brand new tracks, including several co-written with Josiah J Manning who produced Hutchinson’s previous album ‘Battles’. It will also be the first to feature his new band – Greg Smith on bass and Phil Wilson on drums.

Commenting on what fans can expect from the tour, Hutchinson says: “This will be the first opportunity to hear the new tracks we have been recording. The tunes sound massive in the studio and we can’t wait for the adrenaline rush of playing them in front of an audience. These shows are certainly going to pack a punch!”

The tour announcement comes after Hutchinson’s successful Kickstarter campaign, which raised over £7K towards the recording sessions of the new record. “As an independent artist getting this level of support from so many amazing people really blows my mind” says Hutchinson. “It has inspired us to give the album everything we’ve got and make it my best record yet.”

Hutchinson’s album ‘Battles’ crash landed in the Official Independent Chart in 2024, spawning two Planet Rock playlisted singles in ‘Bullets’ and ‘Constellations’, plus rave reviews from BBC Radio 2 and Classic Rock Magazine.

The album will be preceded by the album’s title track, ‘Soul Believer’ – out May 2026.
