Jack Hadley is a highly-regarded guitarist, singer and songwriter. Jack has performed at major festivals and clubs all over the US, Canada and the United Kingdom. He has shared the stage with musicians like The Kinsey Report, Bill Rich and Bob Margolin.
The former Otis Taylor lead guitarist has performed at the Stern Grove Festival in San Francisco, the Ottawa Blues Festival and played live on the BBC in London. Hadley backed up Charlie Musselwhite at the Boulder Theater and recorded with him on the 2007 Otis Taylor release “Definition of a Circle”. In November 2006 he recorded two songs with keyboardist Steve McQuarry at the legendary Hyde Street Studios in San Francisco including the revolutionary track "You & Me". The fall of 2007 marked the beginning of a new recording project with blues veteran Dan Treanor. "Brothers Blood & Bone" is a fresh look at the blues today that includes new songs from Treanor and Hadley along with reinterpretations of classics from Blind Lemon Jefferson, Sonny Boy Williamson and Walter "Billy Boy" Arnold. "Brothers Blood & Bone" features Jack's stellar electric/slide/acoustic guitar work and lead vocals.
Hadley’s 2005 self-produced effort, “Never Too Late”, is available now. Jack's followup release, “Deeper”, was released in 2008.

....FRIZZ RECORDS is proud to announce our first official LP release...
"It's Not The Wand, It's The Magic" is the debut release from AUGUST, the London based band centred around the songwriting partnership between vocalist VEDINA MOSE and multi-instrumentalist / producer RAPHAEL MANN (MR HUDSON / JOY JOSEPH / ART TERRY), with master drummer CLEAN CUT MARK and clarinetist / vocalist MAREE CHOIE completing the core line-up, and a supporting cast including ART TERRY (keyboards), SHOHEI KAWAMOTO (AKA Japanese producer Baraki, Bass clarinet, soprano sax and flute), and KAI HOFFMAN (French horn)
Always an act that juggled a diverse set of influences, the album has been compared to artists as diverse as KATE BUSH, PRINCE, DE LA SOUL, SLY STONE, MADLIB, SERGE GAINSBOURG and THE DELFONICS, for its concoction of wild experimentation and traditional song craft, organic production and futuristic electronic touches, funk bass & drums and jazz & orchestral references, infectious melodies and lyrical flights of fancy...with nods towards classic soul, JB funk, Studio One, 60s pop, psychedelia, left field hip hop, new wave, doo wop, tropicalia, high life, & avant garde jazz, without any song ever fitting squarely into any of those categories...new music, basically...and an instant classic!
"It's Not The Wand, It's The Magic" can be downloaded now from the iTunes Store
The album is also available on heavyweight vinyl LP in a sumptuous gatefold sleeve, or on Digipack CD from www.FrizzRecords.com & all good retailers
