Rising Australian singer-songwriter Jack Botts’ latest release ‘Hold You Tapes’ is out now. Lead by the namesake single ‘Hold You’, the 3-track tapes release also features ‘Fireworks’ and ‘Liquid Love’.
It comes after a whirlwind response to his latest EP Northern Rivers, which has already picked up 2 million streams since its release in November 2019.
Jack explains the meaning behind lead single ‘Hold You’ below: “‘Hold You’ was written somewhere between Byron Bay and Vancouver, and it explains the feeling of falling headfirst into a romance. Reminiscing on the moments you’ve shared together, but also the obstacle of a long distance love.”
Born in Brisbane and now loosely Byron Bay-based, Jack Botts has made a home in his van and cut his chops busking across Australia’s coastline. It’s this no-frills, down-to-earth approach to life and a charming knack for storytelling that has seen the singer-songwriter swiftly and organically build a core fanbase over the last two years.
Consistently present on the local live scene, Botts has a strong live presence and burgeoning demand, having sold out multiple headline shows in major metro and regional hotspots and supported high-calibre Australian artists including Tash Sultana, John Floreani, The Pierce Brothers and Ash Grunwald.
Across a small catalogue, Jack has also dominated on the streaming front, racking up over 5M+ catalogue streams in the last 12 months and 100K Monthly Spotify listeners and climbing.
To celebrate the release of ‘Hold You Tapes’, Jack Botts will play a trio of intimate QLD release shows kicking off tonight. More details and tickets below.
Botts releases independently and is distributed via UNIFIED Music Group. Hold You Tapes is out now.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
