Jack Raymond

Occasionally a voice grips you. Makes a song feel like the arrival of an old friend even when you don’t know the words. Jack Raymond has one of those voices. It’s the crackling of a campfire, boots on a gravel road, whisky meets ice. It’s a voice you’ve never heard before but you’ve known it your whole life.

Hailing from country Harrietville, Victoria, this man of the mountains has travelled the coastline and settled by the ocean in Noosa, Queensland. His style is “mountain roots” – rugged, raw and grounded in blues with an easy rock undertone. Raymond is a storyteller, drawing inspiration from his travels and the characters he’s met along the way.

Following a successful tour across Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, Raymond has released his debut album “The Long Story Short” – a catalogue of musical tales that are catchy and upbeat yet deeply honest and raw.

Raymond has played slots at nationally-recognised festivals including Kiama Blues Festival, The Gympie Muster, Agnes Blues n Roots and Sofar Sounds. In 2021, Raymond was named a finalist in the Australian Busking Championships and has supported touring artists including Riley Pearce, Hatz Fitz & Cara, Sunday Lemonade, Flynn Gurry, Darren Hanlon, Alex Koseko, Ben Smith Band.
