Jayler

Emerging from Staffordshire and the Midlands, Jayler have quickly asserted themselves as a force within the UK rock scene since their arrival in 2022. Comprising James Bartholomew (vocals/guitar), Tyler Arrowsmith (guitar), Ricky Hodgkiss (bass/keys), and Ed Evans (drums), this original four-piece delivers a sound rooted in classic rock energy, augmented by contemporary songwriting and musicianship. Their distinct approach is showcased across a robust catalogue, including tracks such as “Acid Rain,” “Lovemaker,” and “Riverboat Queen.”

Jayler’s growing profile has seen them share stages with iconic acts. In July 2026, they supported Sammy Hagar at Manchester’s O2 Apollo, bringing their dynamic live set to an enthusiastic audience. The band’s momentum continues into late 2026 when they are set to support Deep Purple on tour, including shows at prominent UK arenas such as Eventim Apollo in London, AO Arena in Manchester, and BP Pulse Live Arena in Birmingham. This run alongside legends of British rock underscores Jayler’s status as compelling support on major concert bills.

With their anticipated album “Voices Unheard” scheduled for release in May 2026 and a well-received EP, “A Piece in Our Time,” already in their discography, Jayler are poised for further recognition. For those passionate about discovering the next wave of UK rock, Jayler’s live music and upcoming gigs are not to be missed.
