Jack Penate performs live in The Current studio

St. Paul, Minn. — Jack Penate's music has chamelion-like qualities. His first release "Matinee" had a swinging pop-ska sound while his latest album "Everything Is New" was a 180-degree change and leans more disco.

After growing a strong following playing bars and clubs in London, Penate was signed to XL Recordings in 2006.

Songs performed: "Tonight's Today," "Pull My Heart Away," and "Be The One."
