LIVE VIDEO WEBCAST JACK MCMANUS CONCERT

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008
Thursday July 24th Fabchannel will live webcast the first ever concert in the Netherlands of Jack McManus. Lucky Jack will play his first Holland gig in one the most beautiful venues of the country, Paradiso’s small hall.  

Our friends at Universal Music brought this young, curly haired singer, under our attention. We were happily surprised by his fresh sounding piano pop and are more than willing to record his Paradiso show.

Have a little warm-up fun with this video we found of Jack live at a Dutch national radio station 3FM:


   

  Jack McManus biography
British songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jack McManus (1984) was educated at the renowned BRIT school, where he was Amy Winehouse’s classmate. Also Katie Melua, Kate Nash and Adele enjoyed their education here.  

In April 2008 Jack released the single ‘Bang On The Piano’ and his debut album ‘Either Side Of Midnight’, an amenable record, stuffed with infectious piano-driven pop songs. Beside the piano, Jack McManus also plays trumpet and drums.

Jack McManus’ father introduced him to the world of rock’n roll at a young age. He was responsible for the pyrotechnics at shows of a.o. Dire Straits, Pink Floyd, Ozzy Osbourne and Bon Jovi. He made Jack listen to Elton John and Billy Joel who later became a great inspiration to Jack’s music.

  Smoosh Biography
The sisters Asya (1992) and Chloe (1994) started the American indie-pop band Smoosh in 2000. That year they walked into a music store to restring a violin, but left with an entire drum kit for Chloe and the business card of Jason McGerr (drummer Death Cab For Cutie).  

McGerr taught Chloe to drum and helped Asya with her song writing. The girls turned out to be very talented and released their debut album ‘She Like Electric’ in 2004, which was followed by 2006’s ‘Free to Stay’.

Smoosh have already supported bands like Pearl Jam, Jimmy Eat World and Eels. This time, they open for Peter Moren.
