Jamie Webster

Born on April 18, 1994 in Liverpool, UK folk 'n' roll balladeer Jamie Webster was working as an electrician when he decided to pick up a guitar and try his luck at performing cover songs in his local pubs. A diehard Liverpool F.C. fan, he soon became the unofficial voice of the city due to his fondness for performing gigs on match days and his devotion to Liverpool anthems like "We'll Never Walk Alone." A viral video of him playing a reworked version of 1980s Italo disco track "Allez Allez Allez" went viral in 2018 and led to a big break playing to 60,000 Liverpool fans in Madrid at an away match. Working with respected local producer Rich Turvey, and welcoming a full band into the fold, he began recording his own songs at Liverpool's famous Parr Street Studios. His first original single, 2019's "Weekend in Paradise" found him an even bigger audience, and another handful of singles followed in its wake, resulting in a debut album. Mixing indie-rock and folk with gritty social realism on tracks like "Living for Yesterday" and "Out on the Street," his first LP arrived in 2020. We Get By took Jamie Webster all the way to number 6 in the UK as well as seeing him top the newly minted UK Official Folk Album Charts, beating Laura Marling, Kate Rusby, and the Levellers. He went even higher in the charts with his second album Moments, which was released in January 2022 and reached number 3 in the UK. He dropped his third studio LP in February 2024, 10 for the People, released again on Modern Sky and landing him the prestigious number 2 spot in the UK. Produced by Dave Eringa (Manic Street Preachers, Kylie Minogue), the LP is a series of modern-day postcards from working-class Britain infused with Jamie Webster's relatable charm. In July 2024, Jamie Webster released “Breadline” shortly before performing to 40,000 people at Liverpool’s Sefton Park, where he was joined by Dave McCabe of the Zutons and Ian McCulloch of Echo & the Bunnymen. He returned in May 2025 with “Across the River” and headlined Haydock Park Racecourse the following month. The Sefton Park concert was issued as the 28-track live album Live from Sefton Park in July 2025. Jamie Webster began his next album campaign with “Just Begun” in May 2026, followed by “Small Town Life,” “Turning Point,” and “Ode to Me and You.” His fourth studio album, Running Round The Sun, arrived through Modern Sky UK in September 2026 and examined identity, resilience, mental health, and the pressures accompanying his success. It became his fourth consecutive UK Top 10 studio album, reaching number 10 on the UK Albums Chart and Number 1 on the Independent Albums Chart.
