Jack Ladder
Since the release of his 2005 debut “Not Worth Waiting For”, Jack Ladder’s sound has undergone a transformation. Whilst strong traces of the brooding, lovelorn balladry remain, his latest album, “Love is Gone”, has a distinct sense of swagger, sanguine and a touch of raunch.
Ladder, who grew up on Sydney's northern beaches, has been influenced by artists such as Sam Cooke, Johnny Thunders, Dusty Springfield and John Cale. The mix comes through in his music, which moves effortlessly between the sounds of early R&B, alt-country, folk and blues.
Ladder possesses a wordsmith’s talent for creating poignant, occasionally humorous - always honest - tales of love found, lost and discarded. Such talent has not gone unnoticed, with much of Ladder’s music receiving heavy rotation on independent radio, resulting in a series of national tours.
