Jack Pearson


 
Bio
 

Singer, studio musician, songwriter, producer...these words only begin to describe Jack Pearson. But guitarist is what comes to most people’s minds when they hear his name. According to the Nashville Scene, he has “quietly earned a national reputation as the guitarist of choice when someone needs a mature, tasteful picker with a broad knowledge of blues, jazz, and soulful rock.” Blues Revue calls him a “world-class guitarist...Nashville’s most unassuming musician.” Rolling Stone Magazine brags on his “light touch and fluid, jazzy style...and dynamic slide playing.” And Real Blues Magazine hails him as “one of the best blues/rock guitarists on the scene today.”

Jack has been influenced by many styles of music which can be heard in the distinct soulful voice of his guitar. And his knowledge of the history of the musical styles he plays allows him to deliver a true to the tradition performance. His versatility and musicianship are astounding. He is just as comfortable playing blues as he is jazz. And he can rock out with the best of them. “Anyone who’s caught Pearson live knows he can flat burn,” says Music Row Magazine.

A native of Nashville, TN, Jack started playing professionally when he was fourteen years old. His first recording session was at fifteen. And after many years of honing his skills and paying his dues, he decided it was time to put his music down on tape. The result has been the release of four albums...with another always in the making. All four CD’s have received nothing but praise from critics, colleagues, and fans.

Guitar player, singer, studio musician, songwriter, producer...yes, these words only begin to describe Jack Pearson. He is a truly gifted musician whose offerings should not be overlooked.

“His tone and prowess are flawless...he picks with a playful inventiveness that I haven’t heard since Duane Allman...the name to watch out for in the future is Jack Pearson. No lie -- he’s that good.”   Vibes Magazine
