Other Recent Competition Articles
September is Jack Daniel’s birthday and this year they’ll be bringing Tennessee to Town with a month of giveaways and an exclusive gig featuring Jarvis Cocker, Richard Hawley, Ellie Goulding and Tennessee guitar legend Duane Eddy.
In addition to their original material, all four will bring the spirit of Tennessee to life when they perform a Jack Daniel’s birthday exclusive of very special collaborations themed around great Americana classics.
They follow in the footsteps of Patti Smith, Frank Black and Flaming Lips who are just some of the names to have played at previous birthday gigs.
Duane Eddy will be flying in from his Tennessee homestead especially for the occasion. A Grammy award winning guitarist, he has won numerous accolades since his career began in the 1950s, including NME’s World Music Personality (1960) and Mojo’s Legend Award 2010. He has worked with Sir Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Willie Nelson and is credited as influencing the likes of Hank Marvin and Mark Knopfler. Duane said: “I couldn’t resist the offer to come over to England and play the JD event with these great artistes! I’m very excited.”
Jarvis Cocker, now a popular solo artist and award winning radio DJ, spearheaded cult Britpop band Pulp, famous for hits like ‘Common People’ and the number one album Different Class which scooped a Mercury Award in ‘96. He is known to enjoy musical collaborations and recently teamed up with Beth Ditto, Marianne Faithful and Florence Welch, laying the ground for an electrifying partnership with Richard Hawley and Duane Eddy.
Richard Hawley is no stranger to the Jack Daniel’s Birthday Gig, having performed at the distillery in 2006. His rich, velveteen croon has led to NME reviews that describe his live shows as “spell-binding”. A member of Pulp at its height of success, Richard and Jarvis continue to support each other’s projects and music lovers never tire of seeing these two Sheffield talents partner together. Richard says: “Jarvis and I performed ‘Peter Gunn’ together 10 years ago with Pulp because we were both huge Duane fans. Hearing Duane Eddy’s guitar playing influenced my own playing. I never thought I’d be lucky enough to meet him and now I find we’re all about to share a stage together. Unbelievable.”
Folktronic singer songwriter Ellie Goulding won a Brit for the Critics Choice of 2010. Described as a ‘rare songbird’ and ‘pop dynamite’, her stunning vocals are sure to ignite an incredible atmosphere at the Jack Daniel’s Birthday Gig. Her partnering with Duane Eddy and co will give a rare insight into the guitar route she would have gone down had she not befriended hot pop newcomer Frankmusic at university.
Jack Daniel’s long standing association with music began in the late 1800s when he created a band of musicians that performed to crowds of people around the state of Tennessee, the home place of Jack Daniel’s whiskey.
We have tickets for you and 3 mates to attend this exclusive gig, which takes place at The Clapham Grand in London on 7th October as well as a Fender Guitar signed by all the artists. The prize includes accommodation and £100 travel allowance per person.
