Introducing...
We can’t say enough good things about Jersey Budd.
Sounding like a delicious mixture of Dylan, Springsteen and Cat Stevens, with a sprinkling of stunning guitar riffs and a side-order of orchestral strings, there’s something about Jersey that sounds familiar but fresh.
He hails from Leicester, a British town already renown for breeding talented bands such as the much-loved Kasabian, he actually started his job as a plumber before embarking on his musical career. We reckon he should give up the day job!
Despite having roots in this country, his sound is undeniably American; it’s big, it’s anthemic and will have you singing along at full volume with a lighter aloft.
Watch the video for She Came Back to see what we mean!
He’s currently on tour on the UK with some big names, including Absolute Radio favourites Starsailor and The Feeling. Check out the tour dates and purchase tour tickets on his
MySpace.
He's also broken new ground with his unconventional record deal: a partnership between Jersey, his fans and innovative new service Bandstocks. The brainchild of music lawyer Andrew Lewis and assisted by B-Unique and Vinyl Factory, Bandstocks offers fans unprecedented access to Jersey and his music in return for investment in the production and marketing of 'Wonderlands' – a perfect partnership for a man with unshakeable faith in his ability to connect.

Bandstocks.com for more information.
In these overcast days of recession gloom, Jersey Budd is here to remind you of the uplifting power of music, so check him out.
