Matt Jackson is Atlanta-based, by way of Birmingham, AL, singer/songwriter & producer known for his sound of Americana Gospel infused with Muscle Shoals era soul. Jackson’s tenor is reminiscent of a mellowed-out Roy Orbison, able to carry the bite of Levon Helm’s twang and the soul of Al Green. Jackson’s formative experience with music consisted of playing drums for his traveling preacher - father, experiencing again and again from behind the kit the heated fervor of Alabama tent revivals. A gift for singing and quickly picking up instruments eventually led Jackson into the music scene of his hometown of Birmingham. What followed was years of performing and recording with various rock bands, which gave him the chance to integrate his southern gospel background into the music of a scene equally rich in soul, rock, grunge, country blues, and bluegrass. Jackson continues honing his skills as a solo artist and producer while playing in various projects around his current hometown of Marietta, GA.
