Jack Ladder (real name Tim Rogers) is a singer / songwriter / composer based in The Blue Mountains, west of Sydney. Since 2005 he has released four albums: Not Worth Waiting For, Love is Gone, HURTSVILLE (the last two shortlisted for the Australian Music Prize) and Playmates. Each album has seen a stylistic shift musically, but always there are his distinct baritone voice, well-honed songwriting craft and an ability to draw the listener into his narratives, holding them there to the end. Backed again by his band The Dreamlanders, Playmates was his most acclaimed album to date, and saw a release in early 2015 by the esteemed label Fat Possum in North America and Japan.
