Jack Blocker- Big Jefe

Label: Elbow Grease

Released 11/6/2026

Across his rollicking new LP Big Jefe, Jack Blocker fully embraces the rough-edged Americana spirit that's called to him from the start. The 27-year-old singer-songwriter muses on nights out drinking, making mistakes, and life on the road across the project's eleven tracks. Blocker didn't set out to make a concept album. During his first winter in Nashville, he started writing a new tune over a few pours of whiskey - one that made him chuckle and feel excited about songwriting again. The song became "Big Jefe," Blocker's first ever single that tells the tale of a reckless, drunken miscreant named Jefe, released in 2023. He started dreaming up a world around that story, inspired in part by Willie Nelson's 1975 concept album Red Headed Stranger, as well as country singer-songwriters like Marty Robbins and Townes Van Zandt.
