🔎Jack Van Cleaf:
California-reared singer-songwriter Jack Van Cleaf writes determined and delicate songs with poetic slant and confessional warmth. In 2022, Van Cleaf released his premiere full-length record ‘Fruit from the Trees,’ co-produced by Jamie Mefford (Nathaniel Rateliff , Gregory Alan Isakov) and Alberto Sewald (Katy Kirby). ‘Fruit from the Trees’ opens like a lost suitcase. Written across the last seven years, the ten tracks are stashed with fables & fictions, letters to high school lovers, loose change in foreign currency, and a white bandana chalked in red Texas dust. The record soars with sonic width that melds the folk-song precision of Dawes with a rumbled raucousness suggestive of The Killers. Atwood Magazine calls it “a radiantly raw alt-folk reckoning in the depths of connection, emotion, and the human experience.”

Over the past two years, Van Cleaf has toured with artists such as Noah Kahan, Madi Diaz, Katie Pruitt, Field Guide, Briston Maroney, Annika Bennett, Taylor Ashton, The Lagoons and more. In his songs, folk imagination dresses in cinematic production.

His music echoes lessons learned from his heroes: a directness borrowed from Kris Kristofferson and lucid spirituality reminiscent of Cohen. In 2024, he was named as one of Spotify’s “Artists to Watch” and a “TIDAL Rising Artist”. With breakthrough single “Rattlesnake” having over 10million streams, he has been previously included in ‘Spotify’s best of 2022 roundups including ‘Fresh Finds Class of 2022’ and ‘Fresh Finds Folk: Best of 2022.’
Most recently, Van Cleaf has partnered with Dualtone Records and is currently working on new music.
