A fiercely independent artist, Jack Nash creates atmospheric lo-fi singer-songwriter music from the tools he has available in his bedroom. With intoxicating performances that conjure images of the late Jeff Buckley and hauntingly beautiful songs that grapple with the consequences of limerence, Jack Nash is an artist for those who find comfort in the music of Elliott Smith, Thom Yorke, and Bon Iver.
As a product of declining seaside towns and rural isolation, Nash’ first ventures into music came from a need to find community. In his teen years, he taught himself guitar and soon found himself performing as the lead singer and guitarist at the front of a small folk band. It wasn’t until 17 that he began writing his own music as a coping mechanism for battling bouts of anxiety and depression.
He went on to study music in London at University of Westminster where he began experimenting with his own sound. With access to experimental ambient guitar equipment and new knowledge for recording and performing, he found identity in the deeply immersive sonic environment of his music that took new inspiration from ambient and post-rock music, performing this at university gigs in front of crowds of up to 200 people. During this time, he fell into a toxic relationship that led to the creation of his first single Eternal Sunshine that used the popular film of the same name as an analogy for the relationship. The EP ‘Moth EP’ was also written and recorded in the aftermath of this time as a series of live sessions recorded alone on a cheap $10 microphone in the bedrooms and living rooms of his house share in London and his home in Saltwood.
Nash returned to the music scene in Kent for a short while in 2024 before leaving to travel parts of North America and Australia, playing to small crowds in Byron Bay and Sydney. He has now begun to gain momentum in the Kent music scene in 2025 playing shows at Ramsgate Music Hall and The Penny Theatre in Canterbury.
