The Bumper Jacksons

Jordan Springs will be selling BBQ at this show, so come early and come hungry. Dinner starts at 6:00. This show will have enough seats for everyone plus a little room to groove. The later show will be all dance floor. The Bumper Jacksons are a big, fat party! Hot and sweet, their early jazz and country repertoire paints America’s story from New Orleans’ brothels to Appalachian hollers. Unafraid to scrap together new sounds from forgotten 78’s, the Bumper Jacksons boldly and elegantly balance paying homage to the traditions while fashioning their own unique, DIY style. They perform the old traditional sounds of America, heart-wrenching and youthful, and always in the spirit of raw adventure. “Bumper Jacksons strike like a band that’s leapt from a scratchy 78 and into an impromptu Mardi Gras jam. They’re all beads and beauty, this mighty uproar… Musically, Bumper Jacksons lead with early jazz, spiced with old country and contemporary approaches to lyrics … they embody the essence and import of roots gathered, fostered and allowed to thrive anew. Such vibrancy illustrates within their latest album, last year’s “Sweet Mama, Sweet Daddy, Come In” … Pulled together as if by a rider who reins in a wild stallion, Bumper Jacksons’ music can quiet to a whisper. Unbridled, they can kick into a wail.” -Tom Netherland,Bristol Courier, Feb 2015 Doors open at 7:30 PM and show starts at 8:00 PM
