Spotlight on Jez!
Singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and novelist, JEZ LOWE has delighted audiences since his first album release in 1980. He hails from Easington Colliery in County Durham (northeast England), and his work often deals with the daily lives and struggles of coal miners. But no matter the subject, he delivers his songs with a disarming, impish wit and lilting voice that bespeak his Irish roots.
Jez’s long and much-lauded career includes solo recordings, ten albums with his band, The Bad Pennies, three with the quartet The Pitmen Poets, and many other musical pairings. Jez also has a long-running role as a principal writer for the award-winning BBC series, The Radio Ballads.
Enjoy this video of “Time Rich, Cash Poor” from Jez’s 2020 release, Crazy Pagan (http://tinyurl.com/3ut4a6md) and then come out to The Exchange on Wednesday, February 28, to revel in the real deal as Jez shares the stage with James Keeleghan.
