Description
"Blessed with one of those soulful, heaven-sent voices that soars with emotion or plunges into brooding intensity" (The Musician Magazine).
It’s impossible to not be totally amazed by Luke Jackson, the way he commands such a presence up there on the stage. It may well just be one man and his guitar but the exuberance with which he plays and sings opens the listener’s mind up wide. When his voice is belting out a song it’s like the force of a hundred folk, all concentrated through his captivating solo vocal. Right from the off he shows he means business. The power packed behind his voice grabs your complete attention as soon as it begins.
"He is one of the most distinctive voices, both literally and figuratively, on the contemporary folk scene" (Folk Radio UK).
So you’ve had a terrible day and think your mind may not be in the right place to relax and enjoy a night of live music? Wrong! There’s no chance of that with Luke on the case. Whatever troubles you might have had are smashed to smithereens. The throttle is opened fully and even early on he cements in your mind the cast iron certainty you’ll be leaving the place having been well and truly awed. Put simply, Luke Jackson dazzles - lyrically, musically and vocally. When you've seen him once, you will not be able to keep away, just remember to take along some oxygen for when he steals away your breath.
"I was hugely impressed by every part of Luke’s music – he’s a great singer, writer and performer, a striking new voice" (Frank Turner).
