After taking a step back in 2020 to reassess the direction of the project, and dive into a couple of different musical avenues, jack berry released his first single of 2021 ‘the middle’ in April.

With 'the middle', jack berry has really stripped back to basics, whilst still keeping that structure and tone that people have come to know and love from him. The incorporation of more 90's esque crunchy guitar tones, combined with punchy drums, 'the middle' sounds like a fresh start.

The rest of 2021 will see jack berry back on the road touring a new live show in New Zealand and Australia, and an EP due for release mid year.
