Born in the Qu'Appelle valley, the youngest of 5 brothers, Jack Semple got an easy ride on the farm where he discovered his brother's guitar and learned to play.  The only local guitar teacher taught flamenco style and Jack hungrily spent his youth in music.  He has gone on to reach an international audience for his songwriting, recordings and performances as a vocalist and guitarists of many styles and flavors.  A Juno recipient, two-time winner of the Western Canadian Blues album of the year, Grammy ballot nominee for "Contemporary Blues Album" in 2018,  and two-time Gemini nominee, what Jack enjoys most is playing music live! "I'm very excited to come back to Festival Place, one of my very favorite places and people to play for!"
