While his heart belongs to jazz, Theo Jackson’s soul lies in music that can cross boundaries and genres.
His debut album – Shoeless and the Girl – features fresh and original songs with a distinctive voice, drawn from the imagination of a natural storyteller. From the tale of a lovelorn tortoise to the homeless man of the title track, his songs have an ethereal, other-worldly quality and yet they are grounded in reality.
Over the last two years the London-based vocalist, pianist and songwriter has been making waves on the live music scene performing to sold-out audiences at clubs, venues and festivals both in the UK and further afield.
Expect sizzling swing and a sense of fun from this engaging, charismatic young musician.
