Jack Stevens

About Jack Stevens

I’m Jack Stevens, a bass player and band-leader from north London. My primary instrument is the electric bass guitar (both 4 and 5 string), but I also dabble in synth-bass (Moog Sub 37). Songwriting and production are two areas of which I’ve been concentrating on more recently. I am a keen backing vocalist and really enjoy singing some falsetto harmonies when required.

I took up the bass guitar in my early teens and, in 2002, I moved up to the northwest of England to study a music degree at Sir Paul McCartney's Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts. I was fortunate enough to start working regularly as a professional musician whilst living in the city. I moved back to London in 2008 and have been having a ball ever since.

I was fortunate enough to play on 8 tracks on the new Simply Red album , Big Love. I have been working with Mick Hucknall for a couple of years, both live and in the studio, so this was a great honour for me. Other recent projects include: actress/singer-songwriter Heather Peace’s album The Thin Line and subsequent tour; bass guitar on Nicole Bernegger’s latest album (winner of Switzerland’s The Voice), Small Town.
