This band touches on the "jam band" style with their ability to mix a bit of funk and acoustic folk,then top it off with some great rock-n-roll.Their performance is as fine as the music is tight and together.I really enjoyed how each of the parts{ie.verse,bridge,and chorus} transition into one another .Flawless performance ! - Arkansas Democrat Gazette

Bio
Within 15 minutes of meeting each other in 1999, Kenny Ray Jackson and AJ Chandler had written Crowded at the Bottom,the first of a vast library of songs.
Heartfelt lyrics and brilliant guitar work combine to create a harmonious sensory delight. Jackson Chandler meld their eclectic musical style with familiar themes that create a smoothe yet energetic , emotional electricity.
They enchant and delight audiences with their playlist of original songs, artfully sprinkled throughout with carefully selected covers, that create a new and unique vibe.
Kenny Ray Jackson makes up half of this Dynamic Acoustic Duo. He is an accomplished singer, songwriter and musician, who has touched audiences across North America. His multifaceted vocals wade through moody and mellow lows and rise to joyfully strident highs. Having played many styles of music, he has taken what he wanted from each of them and distilled it all down in his songwriting and performance. By continually pushing his boundaries he has polished a natural talent into a truly entertaining listening experience.
AJ Chandler is a remarkable guitarist whose fluid percussive playing hooks and mesmerizes the audience. AJ studied guitar under the blues direction of Mike Bruce, formerly of Bob Segar and the Silver Bullet Band, he also studied classical and rock guitar in college. He spent the 90's touring with the rock band Mosaic, then put away his electric guitars, and began writing and playing on acoustics. Developing his own unique style, he became extremely familiar with multiple tunings, and began searching for some missing element. This just happened to be Kenny , and the creation of Jackson Chandler.
Four and a half years ago two men came together, proclaimed it was Crowded at the Bottom and they wanted Up!. Jackson Chandler invite you to come along for the ride
