It’s always a little unexpected – those moments where the sound cuts through the noise of the world and makes you stop mid-scroll, mid-sip, mid-thought. That’s how we found Jack Heit. No production tricks, no band in the background. Just a man, a mic, and an Ovation acoustic guitar, pouring out a song that hit like it had been waiting to be heard for years.
We caught the clip from a set at Mucho Gusto in Bel Air, Maryland. It was raw, clean, and completely in control. That voice – youthful but carrying weight. Familiar yet fresh. If you had to make a comparison, think of drive from a young Brian Vander Ark from The Verve Pipe, but lighter on nostalgia and heavier on forward motion.
Jack’s not just dipping a toe into live music – he’s soaked in it, playing patios, breweries, and bars throughout Maryland nearly every week. From Baltimore to Ocean City to Towson and Berlin, his presence is steady, his voice magnetic. The kind of performer that makes background noise become the show – and then makes you sing along.
He’s been posting music for years, steadily building his presence on TikTok, where you can trace his evolution from early performances to polished originals. His 2022 debut single “Red Butterfly Parade” has racked up over 80,000 streams, and his latest single “Carry On” closed out 2024 with even more clarity and confidence. He’s a songwriter who’s learned how to tell a story that hits in under four minutes – and somehow makes it feel like your own.
What’s smarter – when Jack posts his songs to his website, he includes the lyrics so when you attend a performance, you’re prepared to sing along. Brilliant!

Jack performs like a pro, but he’s no machine. Every song – original or cover – gets delivered with the kind of quiet intensity that commands attention without ever demanding it. His sets bring literal hours of entertainment (shows book at 3 hours on his schedule posts), but they don’t wear out their welcome. Instead, they invite you in deeper, one song at a time. He’s not just playing music. He’s building a memory, every night, for everyone in the room.
We couldn’t be happier that the algorithm put him on our timeline.
Jack’s the kind of artist you want to see live, not just hear in headphones, whether it’s an outdoor stage, a night at the brewery or a beachside bar, because music like this is meant to be experienced.
We want to keep hearing that strum and that voice! Jack’s got it, find a show (performance dates on his website) and grab a bite and take in the music.
