Jed Skuse will make you belt out his song by the second chorus
At 20 years old, Aotearoa’s Jed Skuse is a seasoned live performer, a songwriter with wit to spare, and a guitarist with an arsenal of tricks. His latest release, You Only Call Me on the Weekend, is the kind of track that feels stripped-back yet anthemic. A striking balance that reflects a refined craft and mastery of performance.
Built from layers of guitar, percussion, and rich vocals, the song captures the push-and-pull of modern connection, delivered with clever lyricism and an irresistible groove, it’s a song that lingers long after the first play.
A natural storyteller on stage, Jed's live set moves seamlessly through indie, funk, roots, and acoustic rock, and has drawn comparisons to artists such as Sticky Fingers and Ed Sheeren. The release is another milestone in a career that’s been gathering momentum with accolades at the Smokefree Rockquest, the NZ Blues Festival, and more.
With You Only Call Me on the Weekend, Jed Skuse shows he is capable of becoming a defining voice for Aotearoa’s next generation of musicians. And if the second chorus really does make you belt along like it’s your favourite song, don’t be surprised. That’s exactly the point.
