Introducing Red Jackson
“There's nothing anyone can tell these good-time
boys about the history of the blues. Their eponymous debut long player pays
unashamed tribute to Slim Harpo, Willie Dixon, Bo Diddley, Little Walter and
Junior Parker. So, all aboard the mystery train for a whistlestop tour that
starts in the Mississippi Delta, calls in for refreshments at Baton Rouge,
Tupelo, Memphis, Nashville and St. Louis before steaming to a halt in the
fleshpots of Chicago – they're rough & ready but these boys rock steady.”
– The Itchen Delta Express
Since we formed in 2005 we've played regularly around the South of England, taking our show to bars, clubs, restaurants, festivals, functions and parties. We also provide a full street performance and in 2006 played the main stage at Hat Fair (the UK's leading festival of street arts). Other festivals have included: Chichester Festivities, Winchester Water Festival, Reading Water Festival, Eastbourne Magnificent Motors vintage car show, Eastbourne Beer Festival, the Beer Rhythm 'n' Blues Festival, and in 2008 we were invited to play at Chateau de Lartigolle, near Toulouse – listed in Harpers and Queen as one of the top 100 places in the world.
In 2006 we released our first album, Red Jackson, and our second, entitled Walking After Midnight, is now available from us, at gigs, street performances, and online – check it here.
