Jack Savoretti has toured as support to Corinne Bailey Rae on European dates in early 2007. Half-British, half-Italian the singer songwriter was signed to De Angelis records after chatting to a hairdresser who just happened to also style the hair of the manager of Natalie Imbruglia.
From Wikipedia:Jack Savoretti (born 10 October 1983) is a half-English, half-Italian solo acoustic singer who is currently signed to De Angelis Records which was set up by Anne Barrett who is also the former manager of Natalie Imbruglia. Jack didn?t pick up a guitar until he was 16. He was brought up in London before moving to a Swiss mountain village. Moving around Europe as a child he wound up at The American School In Switzerland where he picked up an accent he describes as ?transatlantic mutt?.
Burn Magazine has compared his songwriting to that of Simon & Garfunkel, London?s Daily Telegraph describes his guitar playing as having a ?primal magic about it,? and some music industry insiders are already buzzing around calling him the new Bob Dylan.
