Tenterden Folk Festival - Our younger guest artists

One of our youngest guest artists this year is Jack Hogsden who is making waves on the folk circuit as an accomplished singer, guitarist, melodeon player and more. Working with a variety of materials, he performs songs and tunes from his home county of Sussex and the surrounding areas, as well from North America, Scotland, Australia and beyond. With such a diverse repertoire, much of his music is taken from rare and unique sources, either written or recorded, and these have been reworked to provide tasteful accompaniments and arrangements that emphasise the stories he tells. Jack's songs are tales of love, betrayal, work, life, death, fun, and, at times, the supernatural. His arrangements and stylistic qualities are inspired by the legends that came before him but are delivered with a fresh and sympathetic approach. Combining his rhythmically free vocal style, inspired by the source singers he works from, with his driving and percussive guitar arrangements, leaves you wanting more, and this masterful performance technique has granted him gigs at some of the UK's top folk festivals and folk clubs including Tenterden Folk Festival 2022

Yorkshire folk singer Jack Rutter is another of the younger guest artists appearing at Tenterden Folk Festival 2022 but has already established himself as one of the standout voices of the folk, roots and acoustic music scene. A hugely engaging stage presence, his soaring vocal, powerhouse guitar and bouzouki playing and masterful arrangements of traditional songs and contemporary covers have enthralled audiences from the largest festival main stages to the most intimate folk clubs. Following on from his critically acclaimed second album, Gold of Scar & Shale, 2022 will see the release of a new EP, with 2023 bringing the successor to Gold of Scar & Shale in the form of a new album of traditional songs.
