In 2017, Stu Hamm (Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Allan Holdsworth) approached Jack to play guitar for his Greatest Hits Tour EU alongside Craig Blundell (Steven Wilson). During the same year, 80’s Pop/Rock Band, China Crisis approached Jack to take up guitar duties as a permanent member of the group. Now at 26, Jack has continued to hone his formidable technique and sophisticated style and maintains a busy schedule touring extensively across U.K. and Europe. Currently, he is collaborating with a number of gear companies and is actively teaching many pupils from across the globe and via his website’s lesson packages. Jack released his Debut Single 'SkyBluePink (feat. Owane)' on June 10th 2020 and is soon to release his Debut Album 'Escapades'. Guthrie Govan said of Jack, ‘A quick search on YouTube will unearth a plethora of young guitarists with great technique and Jack is certainly a young guitarist with great technique. What sets him apart from so many of his contemporaries, however, is his innate musicality and also his abundance of experience as a live performer in the “real world”. … a guitar player who can offer technical facility and musicality in equal measure.’ – Guthrie Govan
