Luke Jackson

Event information

The Oxted Sessions is delighted to welcome Luke Jackson back to Oxted URC this November, after an absolutely stunning show in April 2025.

"Blessed with one of those soulful, heaven-sent voices that soars with emotion or plunges into brooding intensity" – The Musician Magazine

"He is one of the most distinctive voices, both literally and figuratively, on the contemporary folk scene" – Folk Radio UK

"Simply stunning, a top drawer vocalist and musician" - FATEA

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

Since his debut album was released in 2012, Luke has released seven records, the most recent being 2024's highly regarded "Bloom".

Luke has opened for Jools Holland (including at the Royal Albert Hall) as well as Richard Thompson (Fairport Convention), as well as touring his own headline show relentlessly across the UK, Europe and the USA.

Praise for "Bloom"

"Could arguably be lifted from the songbooks of Paul Simon, Richard Hawley or John Martyn." - At The Barrier

"To say that the songs show a greater maturity could be dismissive of his earlier work, which has always been interesting and never short of quality, but there is a new depth to both his material and delivery that make the half decade of waiting worthwhile." Folk North West

"Bloom has been well worth the wait – twice though and I was hooked. I can’t recommended it highly enough." Folking

Opening the evening is Joe McCorriston.

Joe is a songwriter and performer raised in Morecambe, now based in London, making music inspired by the likes of Green Day, Bob Dylan, Regina Spektor, and Frank Turner.

After a recent show supporting indie tycoon Frank Turner, along with many summer ’25 festival appearances, Joe is raring to go with an avalanche of new songs and a bigger show in tow. He released his 3rd studio album ‘Fix Your Hearts’ on 6th March 2026, accompanied by a SOLD-OUT launch show in London, a #49 placing in the Official UK Charts, and #30 in the Official Folk Chart.
