Thursday, August 13: Jackson Houston
Jackson was a choir and band kid from day one. With encouraging teachers, parents with classic rock always playing on the radio, a sister blasting punk rock from the room next door, and friends with a myriad of musical tastes, a broad appreciation of music formed. This can be heard in the wide variety of reinvented covers from the moody soul of Hozier to the timeless poetry of Bob Dylan—and even a surprise or two like ABBA or Whitney Houston. Inspiration for songwriting has come strongly from singer/songwriters such as John Prine, John Craigie, and Noah Kahan. Though all music has been influential, Folk and Americana seem to have taken root at the core of Jackson's music.
