LUKE JACKSON TRIO

Event information

Blessed with a distinctive, bluesy, soulful voice, UK based singer-songwriter Luke Jackson has developed an enviable reputation for himself in the Roots, Acoustic, Americana, Blues & Folk circuits by virtue of his acclaimed recordings and dynamic live performances, be they solo or trio.

In addition to the UK, Luke regularly tours across Europe, USA and Canada.

Between his debut album released in 2012, through to his latest release in 2022 are 5 records, including a live album ‘Solo, Duo, Trio’ which were all released to high praise and 5* reviews!

2022 turned out to be one of Luke's most successful years yet. It started with a prestigious support slot opening for Fairport Convention on their Winter Tour in February, a dream run of openers for Richard Thompson, two weeks songwriting and performing in Nashville, including a show at the iconic Bluebird Cafe, a run of shows supporting the legendary Marillion and to finish off the year, several openers with the wonderful Jools Holland.

If this wasn't enough, Luke also found time to record and release on Bandcamp the previously mentioned '10 year anniversary' version of his very first album, 2012's 'More Than Boys' which prompted At The Barrier to say "In fact the project, simple ideas are always the best, is an exercise in growth – growth of a person, growth of a musician and growth of a set of songs"

Alongside all of this, Luke continues to tour relentlessly in his own right, either solo, with either a bassist or drummer, or as a trio with both of them.

2023 and 2024 were just as busy, with highlights being numerous support slots opening for the legendary Jools Holland, very well attended solo shows and a brilliant Trio tour in November to promote his 7th studio album 'BLOOM', which has been very well received gaining universally positive reviews and to date, over 60,000 streams on Spotify.
