JUNE 7th — Album Release Concert at Pangea

Birth! —The Album…in Concert

With my debut EP Birth! dropping on 6/6, what better way to celebrate then by having a concert the very next night. Come to my favorite East Village joint, Pangea on Saturday, June 7th at 7PM. $25 tickets on sale on-line are available by CLICKING HERE.

From the official Press Release:

Featuring songs from Joan Armatrading, Nancy Wilson, Ani Difranco, and more, the worlds of pop, jazz, folk, blues and R&B combine with the classic twists Jackson is known for in his long-running cabaret career. The debut recording has musical arrangements by Jackson’s long-time pianist and music director, Elliot Roth and features musicians Lavondo Thomas & Christopher Heinz, with LaDonna Burns supplying background vocals. The complete album, executive produced by Jackson, made possible through crowdsourcing efforts launched late last year, will also be available on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon.com, and other platforms, as well as for purchase at live performances and at BandCamp.

“I wanted to capture a living, breathing representation of what we as a band have built over the last several years. These boys have played with me for over a decade , and I’m so very proud of what we came up with,” said Jackson in an earlier statement. “The artists who originated these songs have been lifelong inspirations to me. The challenge for us as musicians — how to make them our own, how to make them sound like us.”
