He is currently backed by a talented group of band members and since their performance last March they have added three more members to their band family.

“We are so excited to be a part of the Regatta for another year! Last year’s experience was amazing, it was our first Caribbean show and everyone from Island 92, L’Esplanade and especially Heineken made it unforgettable. We are playing a blend of originals and some covers this year and with the addition of Nick Frenay on Horns, Myles Sweeney on keys, Derrick Cabral on percussion we plan to bring a huge sound and a ton of energy” Jackson stated.
Â
This past year the band recorded their debut album and toured extensively throughout the United States honing their sound and show. In addition to the original songs written by Jackson, they also perform a variety of cover songs ranging from Bob Marley to Coldplay and a little bit of everything in between.
