Bio

We came from diverse backgrounds. Kevin Fallon, a songwriter from Missouri, lived a mountain man lifestyle in Wyoming and spent time working as a cowboy and guide. Kyle Kovalik started out a young river guide on the Grand Canyon, his guitar strapped to his raft and later became an expert kayaker. Kevin Almeida built and inlayed beautiful guitars in California and later assembled computers. After a standout career in college football at the University of Montana, Eric Manegold later toured the U.S and Europe as a successful musician. Both Kovalik and Almeida trained at the Guitar and Bass Institute of Technology. Fallon recorded songs at the famous Record Plant Studios and co-wrote, recorded and shared the stage with various members of Pablo Cruise, Eddie Money Band, Frankie Beverly & Maze and 707. All through our colorful lives, we each honed and refined our musical skills, blending all the diverse styles and genres of music that we were exposed to.

Jackson Sundown began as a trio playing original songs and a few favorite cover songs. When Kovalik, who had played before with Fallon and Manegold, met Almeida at a benefit, he knew they would be a natural fit. They all hit it off from the first chord and knew there was something there to dig into. The individual singing, playing and songwriting styles and diverse musical backgrounds came together with a beautiful variance.

Jackson Sundown writes and performs original material that ranges from soft acoustic ballads to bright country and bluegrass flavored songs, from intricate layered guitars to raw, fiery rock songs, all woven together with soaring vocals into a vibrant storyboard of music.

Our influences are too numerous to name but would have to include the great acoustic/electric artists such as Jim Messina, Poco, CSN, the Eagles and America, as well as the rhythm and blues of Motown and the Funk Brothers and the driving rock and roll of the Doobie Brothers, Tom Petty, the Byrds and ZZ Top.
