DEBUT SINGLE : “Don’t Come Lookin’”
If you listen to Jackson Dean’s music, including his debut single, “Don’t Come Lookin’,” you’ll hear all kinds of musical influences from old school country to rock ‘n roll to the blues. While they didn’t realize they were helping Jackson shape his future musical sound, Jackson says it was his family that exposed him to all kinds of music growing up. “Me and my dad on the way to work in the morning, would listen to the radio, and on the way home in the afternoon. And he was old country and blues and funk and very, very wide palette of music. And my brother was like reggae, ska music, that kinda whole scene.”
Jackson had a couple of other siblings who also shared their own favorite music with him, and he says, “(Music) was just always around, and I always loved it and I always wanted to be in it. I find that a lot of what I grew up listening to, I have memories attached to ‘em – Riding around scrappin’ with my brother listening to Chris Knight, and that kind of stuff. Just, when you can attach those memories to something like that, I guess it makes an imprint in your brain.”
Now Jackson has taken his favorite parts of all those sounds and all those influences and funneled them into his own classic country, rock, blues, funk, rockabilly infused style of country music, which you can hear on his upcoming album, Greenbroke, which will be out March 11th.
