Kid Conventional

Kid Conventional is Sheffield singer-songwriter Jack Weston. Jack writes dark, poetic songs, driven by powerful vocals with a nod to his choral background. He is an intense live performer, truly coming into his own under the the glare of the lights and eyes of the crowd. He was the winner of Yorkshire Unplugged 2013, off the back of which he recorded his first studio EP, "Maps". His single "No Promises" (Dec 2015) was named #15 in Top 50 of 2015 by BBC Radio Sheffield Introducing. Since then, he has spent most of his time playing shows, supporting the likes of Edwina Hayes, Little Comets and CC Smugglers, gaining new fans and wowing crowds with his engaging emotional performances. His new EP, "I Will Never Be An Astronaut", is scheduled for release in May 2017. “Pure quality... A voice that never sways from the note it's supposed to hit, guitar skills that summon up the imagery of the lyrics, and songs that make absolute sense whilst offering something new and different lyrically.” Sheffield Band Magazine “Smooth vocals and Bright Eyes-inspired intensity” Brum Notes Magazine "Jack Weston is a very talented lad with a voice way beyond his years. He produces stripped down, lyrically driven songs which are full of emotional intensity and gentle wonder." Rob Aldam, Counterfeit Magazine “His to date under-appreciated musings are a must-have addition to your music collection.” Jeremy Williams, The Yorkshire Times https://soundcloud.com/kid-conventional https://twitter.com/KidConventional https://youtube.com/user/KidConventionalMusic https://kidconventional.bandcamp.com Contact: jackweston17@hotmail.co.uk Sheffield Folk - New EP "I Will Never Be An Astronaut" out 5th May - Listen to all my music now on Spotify
