Jay Buchanan, frontman of double-GRAMMY award nominated rock band Rival Sons will appear in the upcoming movie Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere. The upcoming biographical musical drama film about American rock singer, songwriter, and guitarist Bruce Springsteen was written for the screen, produced, and directed by Scott Cooper, based on the 2023 book Deliver Me from Nowhere by Warren Zanes. It chronicles the conception of Springsteen’s 1982 album Nebraska. The film stars Jeremy Allen White as Springsteen, and will be released by 20th Century Studios on October 24, 2025. See trailer HERE.
Jay announces: “I have some scenes in the upcoming Bruce Springsteen biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere out Oct 24th. It was a huge honor to be cast in this film. Working with Scott Cooper was a masterclass creative vision experience and Jeremy Allen White is an absolutely incredible talent.”
Jay Buchanan, who is just finishing up an epic run of European summer shows including stadium dates (counting Wembely among them) with with legendary rock band Guns N’ Roses and Ozzy Osbourne’s celebrated Black Sabbath finale Back To The Beginning, in Birmingham Villa Park. The frontman will then play in London then Paris with his new solo outfit JAY BUCHANAN’S WEAPONS OF BEAUTY next week.
Jay made his first European solo venture last year described by The Vinyl District as “a night of revelation and musical enchantment… seeing a gig like this in such an intimate room peeled back the layers of his onstage persona, revealing an artist deeply passionate about his music and storytelling.”
Jay is very pleased to be able to return this year with new solo music to share. He will play London Covent Garden’s STEREO this July, then Paris Studio de l’Ermitage (SOLD OUT) with a full band. Then a new solo acoustic date in Cognac France on July 22nd. “These shows are a long-time dream made real for me” Buchanan states, “They serve such a great, personal purpose. Selective solo outings like this provide me the room to stretch out over the anvil and writhe with a storyteller’s indulgence.”

Speaking about the upcoming release and shows Jay elaborates: “For months, I sequestered deep into the Mojave desert; alone, to write the collection for an album out later this year. In the past, the term HOLY SPIRITS fit perfectly to describe the music I was creating then but in my isolation with the beautiful, barren landscape a truer name for my efforts emerged very organically, almost empirical. From here on my live performances will hold the title WEAPONS OF BEAUTY. “
Jay Buchanan will also play two solo shows in the USA later this year:
TULIPS – Fort Worth, Texas – August 27th (solo acoustic show)
Tickets: https://www.seetickets.us/event/jay-buchanan/655713
CITY OPERA HOUSE – Traverse City, Michigan – September 3rd (solo acoustic show)
The powerful singer is one of the breakthrough vocalists of the last decade. Known for his towering vocals and preacher-like presence, Buchanan may front one of America’s leading rock bands, Rival Sons, but anyone who has met him knows that Jay is a formidable singer-songwriter who became a rockstar by chance.
Taking the time to give air to his more personal writing and penchant for romantic ballads, these shows will be “gloves off, bare knuckle, raw nerve, emotive performance.”
With a talent for lyrical narratives that straddle a line somewhere between american gothic and devastating romance, Buchanan holds the audience in rapture, with his observant, cinematically evocative story-telling and disarming sense of humour.
Bringing together a stellar group of musicians for these special nights, the two concerts in London & Paris will showcase songs from Jay’s previous solo work as well as his upcoming solo album WEAPONS OF BEAUTY.
