A youngblood singer-songwriter with an old soul, Jackson Slater continues the longstanding heritage of southern music.


Raised on the Allman Brothers, Otis Redding, and the Black Crowes, Jackson’s sound is undeniably retro, but also distinctly his own. With a raspy, Joe Cocker-Chris Stapleton-esc voice and smooth, vocal guitar playing, Jackson feels familiar yet fresh. Whether he’s playing an acoustic evening or a full band set, Jackson is sure to provide audiences with a rocking, high energy show that is truly unforgettable.

Bonnie Spalding - President of the Charlotte Blues Society

“Southern roots with honky tonk swagger!!!”

Adam Castiller - Co-Founder of Dugout Entertainment Group

“Equipped with high-level vocal and guitar skill, Jackson is a special artist not only musically, but professionally too.”

Terry Hudson - Host of RBeatz Radio, Author of “7 Steps to Music Industry Success,” Television Personality

“From soul stirring musicianship to powerful stage presence Jackson Slater resurrects the idea of Guitar God. I’m a super fan of this talented soul.”
