Jack Broadbent grew up in Lincolnshire, England. His father, Mick, would take Jack to open mic nights, and in his teenage years he was playing drums in his dad's bands. Eventually, he gravitated to guitar and song writing. His slide playing evolved from the busking in his 20s. "It seemed to appeal to people as something that was both visually and musically exciting. I was already playing in altered and open tunings, so when it came to using a slide I was well-versed in how those patterns worked together." He took some cues from artists like John Lee Hooker and Little Feat, but ultimately he said, "I never really wanted to emulate anybody else's style, which is why I ended up going down a slightly more hard-hitting, brash, kind of route in my playing." His new album RIDE is a rock record highlighting Broadbent’s natural grit, voice and guitar, riding atop every song with a driving force. There is a great deal of stylistic diversity from the title track, which he calls "a tale of adventure", to the blues roots of “New Orleans”, a love letter to one of his favorite cities. While "I Love Your Rock 'n' Roll", is "an homage to the bands that I like." Even though there are several twists, the album takes the listener on a trip, strung together by a Broadbent’s vision. The next step is to take RIDE on the road, which Broadbent will be doing throughout 2022. No matter what lies on the road ahead, Broadbent’s fans can rely on his dedication to the music and to his evolving craft.
