Nolan Jack grew up in a small town surrounded by nature, and it shows. As an LA–based singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist, he brings an Appalachian charm to his musicality, no matter what genre it may be. Born and raised on a farm outside Pittsburgh, PA, Nolan started writing at fifteen and never stopped. As a solo artist, Nolan writes a combination of Hozier and Noah Kahan–inspired folk music with the country influence of Tyler Childers to create a unique blend of lyric-driven acoustic music that is all his own, and he can’t wait for you to hear it.
