Multiple Genre Guitar Master Performing in Spruce Grove

See Jack Semple Up Close and Personal at Horizon Stage on Saturday, October 24

Jack Semple is a Juno Award-winning guitarist from Regina, Saskatchewan, who plays with unparalleled feeling and total technical control. The master of many genres, his 11-album portfolio includes R & B, jazz, roots, gypsy jazz, tango and a tribute to Gordon Lightfoot. Also a talented singer, Jack’s voice has been described as “smooth as silk and jagged as rocks cutting through an ocean shoreline.”

Jack started his musical career by playing with various Regina-based bands. He burst onto the Canadian national scene when he won the Much Music contest "Guitar Wars" in 1992. After a brief stint in Toronto, Jack moved back to Regina and became more involved in the television and movie-score business. He even made a brief jump into acting, in the title role of "Guitar Man" in 1994. He has since played everywhere from Vancouver, B.C., to Montreux, Switzerland. His music has been used in television and film soundtracks, and he has shared the stage with a wide range of top artists including Martha Reeves, k.d. lang, the Lincolns, Ronnie Hawkins and Colin James. Jack's performances are frequently in demand, especially here in Western Canada. He tours solo, with favourite guest artist friends, and with "The Jack Semple Band".

Jack Semple is one of those rare guitar players who leaves a crowd speechless, in absolute awe of what they have just experienced. Listening to him, and watching him play, fills one with a sense of having witnessed an event that will not soon be forgotten.
