Jackson County Line

About Me

Kevin Jackson gathered a talented group of friends to perform his soulful blend of Americana and folk. With guitar, cello, bass, mandolin, banjo, trumpet, pedal steel, drums, and anything else they find lying around this group of 6 guys can bring the funk to bluegrass or the soul to pop. Check them out and you'll see!
