Who is
Jack West

A New York City singer-songwriter raised on open-mic nights around Rochester, NY — making guitar-driven rock that is equal parts grit, melody and introspection.

In September 2017, at 12 years old, Jack was brought up from the crowd at Pilgrimage Festival in Tennessee to sing Pearl Jam’s “Society” alongside Eddie Vedder. He went on to record his debut album, For the Record, with producer Barrett Jones (Nirvana, Foo Fighters) at Seattle’s Laundry Room Studio, and Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready played the solo on his single “Missing Out.”

His second album, NUMB, was mastered by John Greenham. He has played BottleRock Napa Valley and the Rochester Lilac Festival and worked clubs from the Bowery Electric to Mercury Lounge. In 2026 he released “Best in the Dark” and a live “Missing Out” recorded at the Bowery Electric — and this October he takes the show to Ireland and the UK.
