With twenty years of skin in the game Jack Ladder has built and destroyed his own world several times over leaving only his seductive baritone as a bridge to navigate between. Faking his way as a folk singer on his 2005 debut, Ladder reveals himself in 2025 as a true connoisseur of all noises from neoclassical to new wave, country and techno pop. Seen onstage playing in the bands of Bill Callahan and Weyes Blood he has been requested as opening act by Angel Olsen, Father John Misty, John Cale and The Killers - twice - to open their stadium sized celebrations. Sharon Van Etten has even sung on his songs. Spearheading a certain kind of movement that gave rise to his backing band ’The Dreamlanders’ he has been a back-room facilitator to street hustlers and playboys - Kirin J Callinan, Alex Cameron and Donny Benèt – collaborating on both their music and artwork. He frequently tours internationally & has released his albums through labels who know a real one when they see it like Fat Possum, Terrible & Spunk Records.
