Event information
We're so excited to have Jack Goodall and his band come to Common Ground on the 1st May!
About the artist:
Having released three solo albums and in 2021, a collaboration with band The Kick, Goodall is back making new and frequently funky music with a new bunch of virtuoso musicians based in their home city of Birmingham.
Goodall studied and played with musicians such as bluesmen Ian Siegal and Aynsley Lister and afrobeat star Dele Sosimi, and he now channels these experiences into his own idiosyncratic music and performance style.
2025 will see the release of a new album provisionally entitled ‘Ort’ - the name of the now sadly defunct arts cafe in Balsall Heath, Birmingham where so many friendships and artistic ventures began. The album forges ahead with the kind of infectious afrobeat demonstrated in No Reply but
also delves into a wide array of sounds influenced not only by the likes of Fela Kuti and Curtis Mayfield but Eurythmics and John Cale.
With a few festivals and shows lined up this year and the next, Goodall is looking to make a splash on the live scene with high energy shows that will get the crowd dancing.
“Beautiful music, I love it”. - Guy Garvey, BBC6 Music, Elbow
