Jack Savoretti - Dreamers

He bummed around for a couple of years, composing "a reggae song one day, a country song the next. What I sounded like depended on what kind of mood I was in." He rarely wrote the songs down. "If I don't remember it, it's obviously not worth finishing," is his theory. He was playing, "two or three hours a day, just walking around with a guitar, finding who I was in music. I'm always looking for the moment in a song. It should be a great read, not just a three minute shot but a whole movie with an incredibly complicated twist that leaves you thinking for days."

In one of the unlikeliest signing stories you will ever hear, Jack was getting his hair cut, just making conversation, as you do, when his hairdresser told him she also cut the hair of Anne Barrett, Natalie Imbruglia's manager. "I didn't really think anything about it. Then she said 'Would you like me to give her something?' Well, it's not like you take your demo to the hairdresser but I said it would be nice to get some advice." Invited to the De Angelis management offices, Jack went along with a guitar and no expectations. They signed him on the spot.
