With the fiddle leading the charge, Noble Jacks are out to take no prisoners with their high-energy footstompin' rhythms, which have taken crowds by storm.
Nominated live act of the year in the 2023 UK Americana Awards and hailed as the finest purveyors of folk-influenced Americana, look out as Noble Jacks bring the liveliest show around, a raucous fiddle-driven thrill ride, to the stage!
The band have toured relentlessly, with sold out shows across the UK on their headline tours, as well as shows at major festivals including Glastonbury, Isle of Wight and Bestival, plus major European and American festivals including Dranouter (Belgium), Paaspop (NL) and AmericanaFest Nashville (USA).
Off the back of touring the UK and Ireland with The Dead South, Noble Jacks exploded into 2022 with the release of their much anticipated new (3rd) studio album, Last Of The Wild, celebrating with a UK & European Spring tour. The new album soared straight into the Top 40 Official Americana Album Chart and the first single from the album, 'Never Been Here Before' went down a storm with fans and press alike:
Straight outta Norwich, The Cain Pit are the loudest, weirdest thing to crawl out of the
English countryside since someone tried to put mustard in tea. Delivering an electric
blend of bluegrass, punk, and rockabilly, they're not to be missed.
The Cain Pit mash up the energy of punk rock with the twangy heart of bluegrass, a
pinch of rockabilly and other rootsy nonsense. Imagine a bluegrass band that
discovered distortion pedals—or a punk band that fell into a hay bale rolled down an hill
and splashed into the Norfolk Broads—and you’re getting close. They like to think
they’re bridging the gap between genres... though it’s more like they built the bridge, set
it on fire, and are now gleefully dancing in the ashes, hollering sugar-coated melodies
with crunchy, bitter centres
