Jack Botts

Australian singer-songwriter Jack Botts brings his surf-tinged folk to Fox Cabaret in Vancouver on June 24, 2026. Raised on Australia’s east coast, he writes with the beach never far from view: travelling light, changing course, relationships that shift with the tide. His songs lean on warm acoustic guitar, gentle melodies and a soft, unforced voice, giving his folk a pop clarity without losing its intimacy.

Since the late 2010s, Botts has built his path through small rooms and long tours across Australia, Europe and North America, prioritising proximity with the audience. On stage he often plays solo or with a tight-knit band, keeping arrangements stripped-back while opening them up just enough to let the choruses breathe. His 2023 album Sucker For Sunsets distills that approach, mixing road diaries and coastal snapshots into concise, singable tracks.

Live, Botts threads the album with earlier EP cuts, moving from hushed storytelling to breezier, up-tempo strums and nimble fingerpicking. Expect a laid-back, conversational flow, with moments that invite the room in and lyrics that land close to home, carried by that steady acoustic pulse.
