“The Future of Music”

-- Parthenon Huxley (The Orchestra)

“His compositions lay at the intersection of emotion, relatability, and ingenuity”

—Jack Gruber (Pianist, Zara Larsson)

"MY GOAL IS TO SPEAK TO OTHERS THROUGH MY MUSIC - ONE PERSON IN A SMALL ROOM, THOUSANDS IN A PACKED STADIUM, OR ANYTHING IN BETWEEN”

Bandleader. Session Musician. Composer. Sideman. Producer. Performer.

No matter which musical role he takes on, DC-based guitarist and vocalist Jack Waugh always carries this personal mission statement with him. From performing at venues and events such as the 9:30 Club, the Mid Atlantic Jazz Festival, DROM, Le chat Noir, Pianos, and Rockwood Music Hall, to touring the East Coast (with the Bianca Muniz Band), Waugh continues to advance his rising career while achieving his musical goals. He graduated with a BFA degree from the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in December 2017.

Through his unique compositions and spontaneous improvisations, Waugh strives to balance exploration of uncharted sonic territory with honest, uncompromised emotion. He believes that studying an array of genres is key to achieving this. Jazz, Rock, Americana, Classical, Bluegrass, Blues, and Pop can all be heard in his individual and ever-changing auditory landscape. For Waugh, his guitar and his voice makeup the bridge that connects and transports emotion to the audience; 

“I play music because it’s able to transcend societal barriers and take listeners, as well as myself, to a place of unity and infinite consciousness.”
