Jackson Sloan & The Rhythmtones

2018

Sunday 6.30pm
@Control Tower

Jackson Sloan has built up a reputation over the years as an exceptionally talented and gifted frontman. Jackson's love of the music evolved from his parent's record collection which led to him attending live gigs both in his own home town of Southend-on-Sea, and all over Essex, London and Europe.

"The 100 Club, London was my spiritual home, where I could get up close to my heros, the great blues shouters, Jimmy Witherspoon, Eddie Cleanhead Vinson, Jay Mcshann, Memphis Slim, Champion Jack Dupree, Big Joe Williams. Along with becoming a record collector, this became my passion to try to emulate these great musicians and voices, I got to meet the musicians and talk to them personally – I felt very privileged".

In 1982, Jackson formed "Rent Party", a Jump Jive Rhythm 'n' Blues band playing the sounds of Louis Jordan, Big Joe Turner, Jimmy Liggins and Wynonie Harris. After numerous tours and top festival gigs, Rent Party released four singles and one live album, culminating in working with top blues producer Mike Vernon. After Rent Party went separate ways, Jackson formed his new band, playing and touring all over the UK and Europe. Jackson Sloan's new CD – "The Shack Sessions" has put together his love of Jump Blues, R'n'B, Rock 'n' Roll, Boogie Woogie and Jive.
