Jack Savoretti (born 10 October 1983) is an Italian English solo acoustic singer who didn&rsquo;t pick up a guitar until he was 16. He was brought up in London before moving to Lugano, a Swiss town near the Italian border. Moving around Europe as a child he wound up at The American School In Switzerland where he picked up an accent he describes as &ldquo;transatlantic mutt&rdquo;.<br />
<br />
Burn Magazine has compared his songwriting to that of Simon &amp; Garfunkel, London&rsquo;s Daily Telegraph describes his guitar playing as having a &lsquo;primal magic about it,&rsquo; and some music industry insiders are already buzzing around calling him the new Bob Dylan.
