Jack-Austin Despy Blues Band

Jack-Austin Despy, from Essex, is already being recognised as one of the UK's brightest young blues talents. Having first appeared at the Rory Gallagher Festival UK at just thirteen, he has continued to build his reputation through live performances, original material and an increasingly international schedule.

Jack was a finalist for the UK Blues Federation's Jules Fothergill Young Blues Artist of the Year in both 2025 and 2026.

Now developing a growing catalogue of original material, including Old Black Sun, Hurt Train, Tailspin, Whiplash Alley and No Place to Call Home, Jack and the band have also secured bookings in Ireland, the Netherlands and Germany.
