Jack Kays And His Band en El Sol, Madrid 2027

Jack Kays is an Ohio-born artist who moved from the emo-folk singer-songwriter format to leading a rock band. He presents his second album, Call It What You Want, at Sala El Sol in Madrid.

Jack Kays is an artist from Ohio who began as an emo-folk singer-songwriter and who, over time, has been completing his transformation into the leader of a rock band. His music is tied to the digital aesthetic of SoundCloud and to live performances in venues. He has chosen not to pigeonhole his sound with a specific label, hence the title of his second album, Call It What You Want, which means ‘call it whatever you like’.

One of his early breaks came through Travis Barker, who took an interest in his viral single Morbid Mind. The two released a joint EP at the end of 2021, a work that placed his proposal in a pop-punk vein.

On stage, the project presents itself as a rock band, and his gig at Sala El Sol comes with the album as its reference point. This Madrid venue hosts mainly concerts, with a programme centred on rock and indie.
