From his second album Americana (April 2025), Eddie Gripper presents music inspired by an 8,000 km hitchhiking journey from Alaska to California – a hopeful yet clear-eyed portrait of American life, live from The Hampstead Jazz Club stage.
Performing music from his second album ‘Americana‘ (released April 2025), Eddie Gripper tells the story of an 8,000 km hitchhiking journey from Alaska to California, completed in under two months during the summer of 2022. The music captures the vast landscapes and unforgettable moments along the way – from sleeping in the Alaskan wilderness to cycling down Santa Monica Pier – offering a vivid, hopeful, yet unflinching reflection on American life.
Having “already garnered comparisons with the greats” (Jazzwise), after the release of his debut album ‘Home’, pianist Eddie Gripper has rapidly established himself as a young contender on the national jazz circuit. He has worked as a performer, promoter and producer alongside top musicians in his field such as Nigel Price, Simon Spillet and Alex Clarke. As a composer, he has collaborated with vocalist Elijah Jeffery, releasing a self-titled album in 2025, songs that explore the intersections of jazz, singer-songwriter classical and folk traditions.
In 2024, Gripper embarked on a 29-date tour across the four nations of the UK and Republic of Ireland, and remains active on the national and international scene, having played at venues such as Crazy Coqs, Pizza Express and various festivals, both under his own name and with other projects.
