Jack Savoretti announces Forest Live dates

Jack Savoretti is the first artist to announce dates as part of Forest Live 2023, the summer concert series presented by Forestry England.

Since his initial breakthrough with BBC Radio 2 airplay in 2006, a succession of crafted albums has built the Anglo-Italian singer-songwriter an impressive career. ‘Written in Scars’ (2014) and ‘Sleep No More’ (2016) confirmed his growing popularity with gold-selling status and these were superseded by No 1 albums ‘Singing To Strangers’ (2019) and ‘Europiana’ (2021) which spawned ‘Europiana Encore’, a special extended edition released this year. A number of his songs have featured in TV and film such as ‘Grey’s Anatomy’, ‘The Vampire Diaries’ and ‘One Tree Hill’. Jack Savoretti last appeared as part of Forest Live in 2019.

Forest Live is a major outdoor live music series that introduces forests to new audiences in unique, natural woodland arenas around the country. Over 2 million people have attended a Forest Live gig in the last twenty-two years, enjoying great music and supporting the nation’s forests when buying a ticket. Going to a concert helps Forestry England create beautiful places for people to enjoy, run important conservation projects and keep growing trees. Last year they planted some 6.8 million trees, caring for the nation’s 1,500 woods and forests sustainably and welcoming 363 million visits annually.

Commenting on the dates Jack said:

“I love performing at these wonderful woodland locations, they are like no other live arenas. I look forward to sharing all the new music we have been releasing with you in these incredible settings.”

Indie musician Jack Savoretti will perform in Cardiff next year in a huge one-off show. The chart-topping singer/songwriter has announced that he's playing Bute Park in May 2023 in an open-air performance including all his biggest hits.

Savoretti's career includes two UK number one albums - 2019's Singing to Strangers and 2021's Europiana. He released his first single, Without, back in 2006 before releasing his first album Between the Minds in 2007.

A tour with Corinne Bailey Rae and a debut solo tour in 2008 helped launch his career. He recently brought his Europiana Tour to Cardiff International Arena in March 2022.

"Nothing beats playing to a live audience, outside under the stars, which is why I can’t wait to see everyone in Cardiff next May," said Savoretti. "I’ll make it a show to remember."

He's also performed across the full range of morning and prime-time TV including the Graham Norton Show, Saturday Kitchen and Soccer AM over the years.

This huge headline show in Bute Park is the latest on the list of big open-air gigs coming to Wales in summer 2023. Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds will play Caldicot Castle in August, Bastille will be headlining DEPOT at the Castle, and Madness are playing Swansea's Singleton Park.

Cardiff Castle will also host Sting 's My Songs World Tour in the summer, and both Coldplay and Harry Styles are booked in for the Principality Stadium.

Savoretti will come to Cardiff on the Bank Holiday Sunday, May 28 2023. Tickets are available from Friday, December 15 and can be found here .

Plus The Wandering Hearts The Wandering Hearts achieved their second consecutive #1 on the UK official Americana Chart as they built on the breakthrough success of 2018’s Wild Silence debut with last summer’s self-titled second album, recorded between Woodstock and Omaha with acclaimed producers such as Simone Felice, David Baron and Mike Mogis.

Arriving to a second wave of critical acclaim and again championed by Bob Harris at BBC Radio 2 (who previously awarded them his Breakthrough Artist at the UK Americana Awards), the album cemented the trio’s reputation as one of the leading lights in British Folk-Americana – as underlined by their further nomination for Album Of The Year at the UK Americana Awards 2022, alongside Yola and The Staves.

The only British act to debut at both the iconic Ryman Theatre and The Grand Ole Opry in Nashville in the same week, The Wandering Hearts have shared stages and tours across the UK and US with artists such as the late greats Tom Petty, John Prine and Justin Townes Earle, and Margo Price, Lukas Nelson, Robert Plant and Eagles.

Signed to Chrysalis Records for their third album, the band firstly will release an EP ‘Hesperus’ in May 2023. The new material puts sharp focus on their world-renowned three-part harmonies to explore their Folk-Rock influences, blending flavours that bring to mind Simon & Garfunkel, Fleetwood Mac and contemporaries like Milk Carton Kids and First Aid Kit.

Jack Savoretti takes us on a guided tour of his new musical genre, Europiana

• Published 27 June 2021
• Eurovision Song Contest

"I'm a Mediterranean boy at heart," says singer-songwriter Jack Savoretti. "It's where I feel happiest."

But, stuck inside over the last year, he didn't have many chances to indulge that passion. So he started to daydream.

"Looking out the window wasn't enough anymore. So I had to create this kind of escapism - a holiday, a getaway, in my head."

As his mind drifted back to childhood memories of sun-kissed beaches and swimming off the Italian coast, he started to imagine a soundtrack - full of the sounds of Demis Roussos, Julio Iglesias, Gipsy Kings, Jacques Brel and Italian disco.

They're all artists he thinks the UK, with its strange aversion to foreign language music, has missed out on.

"Jacques Brel's Song Of Old Lovers - La Chanson Des Vieux Amants - to me it's the greatest love song ever. It's untouchable," he says. "And I've spent numerous nights after too many bottles of wine, translating it word for word for my friends.

"I got so sick and tired of doing that I decided to write my own versions of these French, Spanish, German, and Italian songs and make them in English."

The result is Europiana, the star's seventh album and the follow-up to his first UK number one, Singing To Strangers. He claims, rather boldly, that Europiana is an entirely new genre, drawing on his Swiss-Italian-British-American upbringing to create something unique.

"It's the music of my childhood summers, remade for today," he explains.

The album was created with his band in his Oxfordshire home last summer with the windows wide open. "The sun and fun seeped into the songs," he recalls.

The sonic palette will be familiar to anyone who's ever taken a package holiday or watched Eurovision - albeit with a touch more class. But, whatever you do, don't expect Savoretti to throw his name in the ring for next year's Song Contest.

"No, because Eurovision doesn't represent what's happening in Europe musically," he says. "It represents what's happening in Europe on television.

"It really highlights how every country does showbusiness - but not music."

With that out of the way, we settle down to go through his new album, track-by-track, exploring the influences and experiences that make up Europiana.

1) I Remember Us

The album starts with the sound of Savoretti's wife and daughter singing a simple, naïve melody - setting up the album's themes of reconnecting with family.

"I would never have written this song, if we hadn't been forced to be at home together. For me, last year was really about rediscovering my wife and myself, as a couple and as lovers, as friends, as partners, as parents." (It must have gone well - the couple had a new baby daughter two months ago).

"Lockdown was suddenly this moment of 'Oh, I remember us','" he says. "And that was the seed for the rest of the album - because I already knew the sound and the setting. I just didn't know the characters in the film."

2) Secret Life

"The song is essentially about coming to terms with yourself, warts and all. Everybody has this little secret life. That doesn't mean it's riddled with sin - although it usually is!

With echoes of the Pet Shop Boys' It's A Sin, the song has a spoken word interlude where Savoretti and his wife, actress and painter Jemma Powell, whisper to each other: "I won't tell if you don't tell."

"That really threw my band," the singer laughs. "They were like 'Is that Jemma? Aren't you talking about your secret life?'. And I said 'why wouldn't she be a part of my secret life?'.

"Sometimes your lover might be your secret life. In my case, we have a shared experience we like to keep private. It doesn't necessarily mean you're hiding stuff."

3) Who's Hurting Who (ft Nile Rodgers)

"Having Nile on board was so important, because he is the godfather of Europiana - and he didn't even know it.

"With Chic, Nile took disco-funk music, which was a quintessentially underground, African-American style in black clubs and gay club and made it mainstream in America.

"Then it was embraced by European artists - who didn't face the same struggles he faced. For them, it was glamorous, it was like a luxury item. It wasn't an underground thing, it was aspirational, and it created what I call Europiana. And without that, we wouldn't have had Daft Punk and Phoenix."

4) When You're Lonely

A song about missing someone when they're gone, and reminiscing about falling in love - with vocals from 80s pop legend John Oates, a squiggly synth solo and a splash of accordion for that continental touch.

"I don't know if I should say this, but in our relationship, distance has always made the heart grow fonder," says Savoretti. "We're so used to being apart, that we love coming back together. It's such a part of our relationship that not having that this year was interesting.

"Homeschooling was particularly tough. I did try to put my two cents in at the beginning - and then very quickly both my children and my wife realised that I was distracting more than anything.

"I was told to leave the room, basically."

• Dave Grohl: 'I dreamt I was shot in the back'

5) More Than Ever

"I literally say in the song, ' Looking back on all my memories with so much joy / Summers spent in Italy when I was a boy '. It's like the instruction manual of the album.

"I really love that concept of the narrator turning to the audience and explaining why they're listening."

A stripped-back ballad, the song consists solely of Savoretti's raspy voice and a sweeping grand piano. Does he feel any pressure when he has to sing with such sparse accompaniment?

"Not at all, I get off on that pressure, especially live. I enjoy the intimacy of that moment. It is terrifying, but when it works it's magic."

6) Too Much History

"I did think of this album as a vinyl record, and this is the side two, the second half of the show. You're at a party in the south of France, on some yacht by some sea. You're a little bit sunburned, the salt's still on your skin, and you're having a first cocktail in the evening, and it's going to be a great night."

The lyrics are about spending time with the people who know you best, who have "seen the good and bad" and "remind me from where I came".

"Leaving London was really good for that," says the singer. "Because in London I knew a lot of people but I didn't have a lot of friends. I think in my 20s I was like 'Would you be my friend? Would you be my friend?'. You're a bit desperate - you're just trying to feel like you belong.

"Whereas, out here in the countryside, I realised I'm at an age where I've got a pretty damn good group already. I've got a pretty solid band of brothers."

7) Dancing In the Living Room

"Very early during lockdown, I realised that Covid was scaring my wife and scaring my kids. It was very macabre sitting every evening, watching how many people died. So I created this thing called Fabulous Fridays, which was a party every Friday night.

"We came up with a theme every week - so we had Italian night, we had Spanish night, we had French night, we had Mexican night. It was usually pretty cultural, but sometimes it was, like, The Greatest Showman night, and we went crazy. We literally had proper dance-offs in the living room.

"That's when I started rediscovering Europiana. because I started playing a lot of Gipsy kings, a lot of Boney M, a lot of Diana Ross, a lot of Chic. And my daughter called me out and said, 'Papa, why don't you make music like this?'."

8) Each And Every Moment

"The day before writing this, I learned to play Dreams by Fleetwood Mac - and that whole song only has two chords. So the next day I woke up and I was like, 'I'm gonna write a song with two chords, too.'

"I did it kind of as a joke - but I sent it to my manager and he was like 'this is possibly the best song you've ever written'."

9) The Way You Say Goodbye

"This is the song I've always wanted to write, I can't hide it.

"I've always wanted to have a song where I could sit at a piano with a glass of wine and a cigarette and sing conversationally - almost like it's being made up as you go.

"It's my Jacques Brel, Charles Aznavour moment. It's the olive in the martini glass. When you leave the club and you walk through the hotel lobby, this is what's playing."

10) Calling Me Back To You

"This was written with my old friend Gizmo Varillas. He's from the north of Spain, which is on the Atlantic, and I'm from the Mediterranean - and it's funny because all we do is talk about the sea.

"And so we wrote this song about a lighthouse, about the thing that draws us back. As someone who has travelled a lot, even though I was born in England, I sometimes feel like a foreigner.

"But the one place I do feel at home is by the sea. That gives me a sense of belonging, and so we wrote a song about that."

11) War Of Words

"This is a bit of a lullaby - a song from a father to his children. What's that great line Thumper says in Bambi? If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all.

"We are in a time right now where everybody is pretty vicious. All the hard work we've put into the last 100 years about becoming more civil has gone out the window, because we're able to comment on the internet without any repercussions, or seeing how it makes other people feel.

"So the song is saying be kind, a war of words is not the answer. After the year we've had, I wanted to end the album on something hopeful."

Bringing things full circle, the album closes with Savoretti's children singing the refrain: " Maybe love is still the answer ."

"I was worried it would sound cheesy," he says, "but you can't be cynical when you hear them singing it."

"I just knew, this is how I want to end the album, this is how I want to end my career! If this is the last thing I do, I'm good.

"I genuinely get choked up every time I hear it."

Where To See Jack Savoretti On 2022 UK Tour

Jack Savoretti returns with a wonderful new album that arrives complete with its own genre, Europiana . Put on your dancing shoes for the funky first single, the disco fuelled ‘ Who’s Hurting Who ’, featuring Nile Rodgers. 

“Nile brings groove, glamour and chic that is everything that Europiana is,” Jack Savoretti says. “ Europiana wouldn’t exist without Nile Rodgers!”

To celebrate, Jack has announced a 12 date UK tour next spring including a date at Cardiff Motorpoint Arena on March 25 th .

Jack Savoretti Discusses Europiana

‘Europiana’ is the follow-up to Jack’s breakthrough 2019 album ‘ Singing to Strangers’ , his third consecutive gold seller and first UK number one. While that album was recorded in Rome at Ennio Morricone’s studio, this new disc was conceived in between lockdowns at Jack’s Oxfordshire home.

“ Europiana isn’t a sound. It’s references and inspirations and the emotions they evoke,” Jack says. “It’s the music of my childhood summers, remade for today.”

Once again, Cam Blackwood (who has worked alongside George Ezra, London Grammar and Florence & The Machine), has produced the album, recorded late last year at Abbey Road with Jack’s longtime touring band. John Oates plays guitar and sang backing vocals, from Nashville, on ‘ When You’re Lonely’.

Jack Savoretti Makes Europiana A Family Affair

Much of the 11-track album concerns itself with family, friendship and the precarious nature of love so it’s not surprising that Jack’s wife and children sing on a few tracks.

“’Singing to Strangers’ was my first album that wasn’t all about me, which I loved,” Jack says. “’Europiana’ pushes that further. There are more characters and bigger concepts. I’m looking out at the world, not inwards.”

“For weeks we literally lived Europiana ,” Jack enthuses. “The band would arrive and I’d make a big lunch, eaten outside with loads of rose. Then we’d go inside to write in what is usually my living room but it became a studio. The sun and fun seeped into the songs.”
