Jack Rutter

Jack Rutter is a Leeds-based folk singer, guitarist, and multi-instrumentalist deeply rooted in England’s traditional music scene. Known for his warm, no-nonsense approach to folk, he deftly breathes new life into centuries-old ballads while crafting fresh originals that feel timeless. A former member of acclaimed trio **Moore Moss Rutter**, Rutter’s solo work—like his 2017 album *Gold of Scar & Shale* and 2021’s *The Hills of Longdendale*—showcases his knack for storytelling and masterful instrumentation (guitar, bouzouki, melodeon). His releases, including playful cuts like *The Lancashire Liar* and thoughtful covers like Peter Gabriel’s *Solsbury Hill*, highlight his versatility and reverence for folk’s past and present. Whether reviving local legends in *Small Northern Town* or delivering lively pub session energy, Rutter remains a down-to-earth voice in the modern UK folk revival.
