bio

Hailing from the icy northern Minnesota port town of Duluth, indie songwriter Jack Campbell has spent much of the last ten years warming up inside with a guitar and a tape machine. In keeping with the Midwestern approach to life, many of the difficult subjects explored in his songs are hidden behind a smirking pop facade.

Campbell’s music has found a worldwide audience following the release of Absentee (2013), with much of his fanbase spread throughout the UK, Germany, and the Netherlands. After returning to the studio with Minneapolis producer/engineer Brett Bullion, he plans to release a follow up record in early 2019.

“Something tells me there’s a bright future ahead for Jack Campbell.”
