Transatlantic Folk

Robert ‘Magpieʼ Jackson Trio + Support (TBA)

With his stirring voice, wailing harmonica, and fingerpicking guitar, Robert Jackson is a dynamic singer-songwriter from our very own Lichfield. Together with Mike Seal on upright bass, and Alfi Romeo on lead guitar, they deliver an enticing sound that pays tribute to the piedmont blues of Appalachia, merged with the more contemporary stylings of Peter Green, Bob Dylan, and Rory Gallagher. 

Better known for his work with the duo ‘A Different Threadʼ, Jacksonʼs toe tapping blend of folk, country, and americana has enthralled audiences from  Berlin to New Orleans and gained the attention of both BBC and NPR radio. A poet and traveller at heart, Jacksonʼs though-provoking lyrics deal with  romance, reckoning, and life on the open road.
