SUMMARY:JACK BLOCKER
DESCRIPTION:$15 advanced\, $20 day of show General Admission (Seated) - D
 oors open at 7PM https://www.jackblocker.com/ Across his rollicking new 
 LP Big Jefe\, Jack Blocker fully embraces the rough-edged Americana spir
 it that’s called to him from the start. The 28-year-old singer-songwrite
 r muses on nights out drinking\, making mistakes\, and life on the road 
 across the project’s eleven tracks. Blocker didn’t set out to make a con
 cept album. During his first winter in Nashville\, he started writing a 
 new tune over a few pours of whiskey – one that made him chuckle and fee
 l excited about songwriting again. The song became “Big Jefe\,” Blocker’
 s first ever single that tells the tale of a reckless\, drunken miscrean
 t named Jefe\, released in 2023. He started dreaming up a world around t
 hat story\, inspired in part by Willie Nelson’s 1975 concept album Red H
 eaded Stranger\, as well as country singer-songwriters like Marty Robbin
 s and Townes Van Zandt. A native of Richardson\, Texas\, Blocker grew up
  playing music in church. When a friend with an impressive vinyl collect
 ion played him records by songwriting greats like Johnny Cash\, he start
 ed writing music of his own. After playing shows in college\, he moved t
 o Nashville in 2022 to pursue music full-time and never looked back. In 
 addition to his own headline shows\, Blocker opened for artists like Sha
 ne Smith and the Saints\, Molly Tuttle\, Hayes Carll and Drake Milligan\
 , with live shows serving as deep inspiration for Big Jefe. Produced by 
 Patrick Lyons (Colter Wall\, Noeline Hofmann)\, Big Jefe is about transf
 ormation. It’s a story about a drifter – a broke drunkard searching for 
 purpose. Drawn into the drug trade out of perceived necessity\, he chase
 s opportunity and transforms a struggle for survival into an unlikely ri
 se to power as Big Jefe. Big Jefe is set for a November 6 release via Th
 irty Tigers Elbow Grease Records. It’s Blocker’s first project with Thir
 ty Tigers\, marking an exciting new chapter in his career. Already a vet
 eran of the road at 28\, Blocker’s sound sits at the intersection of out
 law country\, Americana folk\, and the Texas singer-songwriter tradition
 . Last year\, he released his debut album\, The Land On Most High\, prod
 uced by Big Jefe producer Patrick Lyons and released on his own label\, 
 Elbow Grease Records and his intentional songwriting and authentic story
 telling have earned recognition from SiriusXM and fans across the countr
