Gritty rock guitarist and singer-songwriter 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 with a special launch event at O2 Academy Islington on 21 January.

The album will feature 11 brand new tracks, including several co-written with Josiah J Manning who produced Hutchinson’s previous album ‘Battles’. The first single ‘Soul Believer’ has been playlisted by Planet Rock radio, whilst its follow up ‘Rise Again’ and 3rd single ‘Solar Fire’ have both been named in Classic Rock Magazine’s Tracks of the Week.

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!”

Hutchinson’s last 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. It built on his extensive touring over recent years, which has seen Hutchinson perform in America, Brazil, Spain, Germany and France. Further international dates are scheduled for next year.
