ABOUT

Jack The Songman is a new artist from North Carolina determined to show you a good time straight from the heart. The man behind the song, Jack Carmichael, has been making music in the Triangle for more than a decade. Under the “Songman” moniker, he writes songs with a funky, classic pop sound that feels familiar but sincere. Love, togetherness, and celebration of the mundane are central motifs baked into the entire Songman catalog.

Born into a family of musicians, Carmichael has been a member of various musical ensembles since childhood—however, it wasn’t until his mid-twenties that he stepped into the dual role of frontman and songwriter as Jack The Songman. With the support of lifelong friends and collaborators (known collectively as The Songman Band), Carmichael has forged a genre-melding, piano-driven sonic identity that weaves together elements of yacht rock, funk, and power pop while calling to mind musical forces such as Michael McDonald and Ben Folds.

Since stepping onto the scene, the Songman has made a name for himself playing high-energy shows throughout the Triangle. Carmichael’s songwriting craft has made an impression on his hometown, generating a commission to write and record the signature jingle for Chapel Hill’s radio station, 97.9 The Hill WCHL.
