Jack Savoretti

On 24 October 2026, Jack Savoretti plays The Glasshouse – International Centre for Music in Gateshead. The Anglo-Italian singer-songwriter has built a singular path between folk roots, acoustic pop and a touch of Italian songcraft, carried by a slightly husky voice and guitar work that favours clarity over flourish. Raised between London and Lugano, he writes in the first person about distance, ties and the push-and-pull of belonging, with melodies that hold close without drifting into excess.

On stage, Savoretti moves easily from bare, fingerpicked confessionals to fuller, groove-led arrangements with his band, letting the songs shift in energy while keeping the storytelling upfront. The set can roam across his catalogue, from early folk-pop sketches to the rhythmic lift of Written in Scars and the warmer, cinematic shades heard on Singing to Strangers. Europiana brought Mediterranean colours to his palette, and Miss Italia reconnected him to his roots, with a few songs in Italian now part of the journey. It’s a show that leans on craft, dynamics and voice, designed for a room that listens.
