Jackson Slater

A youngblood singer-songwriter with an old soul, Jackson Slater continues the longstanding heritage of southern music. Raised on the Allman Brothers, Otis Redding, and the Black Crowes, Jackson’s sound is undeniably retro, but also distinctly his own. With a raspy, Joe Cocker-Chris Stapleton-esc voice and smooth, vocal guitar playing, Jackson Slater feels familiar yet fresh. Whether he’s playing an acoustic evening or a full band set, Jackson is sure to provide audiences with a rocking, high energy show that is truly unforgettable.

His combination of tasteful phrasing and searing licks stems from his diverse musical taste, which includes artists from genres such as blues, rock, soul, funk, jazz fusion, and even bluegrass. His biggest influences include Marcus King, D’Angelo, Chris Buck (Cardinal Black), Stevie Wonder, Cory Wong, Black Sabbath, and The Black Crowes. Live, he channels this diverse mix of artists into a powerful and distinctive sound.

Eminem has done some acting work, most notably in the 2002 semi-autobiographical movie 8 Mile, for which he wrote and recorded the Academy Award–winning song “Lose Yourself.”
