Tonight, along with his band Leif Maine-guitar, Daniele Gulino-bass and Jack Robson-drums he will be featuring, amongst many other groove laden originals, material from his new record “Mirage” which he describes as “a guitar-driven departure from his previous work”, exploring “the age of information and illusion through a psychedelic lens, drawing on influences from Jimi Hendrix to Jeff Buckley, trip-hop and beyond.” Lauded by the likes of Jamz Supernova, Mary Anne Hobbs and Jordan Rakei, Jackson’s shows are both exuberant and captivating.
