Jaret Reddick

A very grown up Jaret Reddick induced nostalgia with his teenage angst melodies, from his days as pop-punk singer for Bowling for Soup. He was subdued at the start, but nonetheless incredibly charismatic, likeable and funny throughout this unique personal narrative cum rock show. He briefly broke the mould as hilarious BFS frontman, to address his own depression and a friend’s suicide. A brave move. Throughout the show Jaret held his own, without the backing of his band. His distinctive, gritty voice and larger than life personality carried him through. Still, it was the announcement that Bowling For Soup will be returning next year which amassed the loudest cheer.
