Jack J Hutchinson / Soul Believer Tour Announced After Kickstarter Success

Jack J Hutchinson will bring his Soul Believer Tour 2026 to the road later this year. The tour is named after his new studio album, Soul Believer, which is set for release early next year. The title track is expected in May 2026.

“This will be the first opportunity to hear the new tracks we have been recording,” Jack J Hutchinson said. “The tunes sound massive in the studio, and we can’t wait for the adrenaline rush of playing them in front of an audience. These shows are certainly going to pack a punch.”

Soul Believer features ten brand new tracks co-written with Josiah J Manning (Kris Barras Band, Seth Lakeman) and will be the first to feature Hutchinson’s new band, featuring Greg Smith on bass and Phil Wilson on drums.

The tour announcement comes after Hutchinson’s successful Kickstarter campaign, which raised over £7,000 towards the recording sessions of the new record.

“As an independent artist getting this level of support from so many amazing people really blows my mind,” Hutchinson says. “It has inspired us to give the album everything we’ve got and make it my best record yet.”

Hutchinson’s last album, Battles, crashed landed in the Official Independent Chart in 2024, spawning two massive singles in Bullets and Constellations, plus rave reviews from across the board.

“To get it in the charts was an incredible feeling,” Jack told MetalTalk in September 2024. “I didn’t even check because I didn’t think that I would be able to get into the independent chart. But when I got a message that Friday evening saying you’re in the chart, I was really blown away by it. It set us up for a really good six months of touring after that, which was cool.”

Tickets for the tour are available from 9 AM Friday, 6 March 2026 via JackJHutchinsonmusic.com. Soul Believer, the album, will be released next year via Earache Records. The title track will be released as a single in May 2026 and can be pre-ordered via earache.lnk.to/SoulBeliever.
