Jake Moreley: Bring Him To Your House

• 26th Apr 2012

Following a sold out headline gig to an ecstatic crowd at the Jazz Café as part of HMV Next Big Thing 2012, Jake Morley is set for a busy spring, with his debut album release and a 20 date headline UK tour in May.

His new single Sideline will be released in May and Jake has now announced a House Party Competition to win one of 5 house concerts to promote the upcoming tour. Anyone buying a ticket through the dedicated ticket link will get an entry into the competition, plus a free download of the track Ghostess. Entries can also be made by tweeting the link to the blog on Jake's website.

Jake’s intriguing lap tapping guitar style, his strong songs and engaging performances convert initially curious audiences into ardent fans at every gig. In 2011 he performed across the UK, from Thurso in Scotland down to Exeter . Along the way, he was asked to deliver a marriage proposal from the stage on behalf of one fan to another (she said yes!), one supporter spent 6 months making an animation video of one of Jake’s songs, several drove over 180 miles to see him play, many came to 4 or 5 gigs in a row with more friends each time, and another made a 10 foot long banner and hung it in the street to greet him.
