Bio
Melbourne singer/songwriter Kurt Jackson plays heartbreak country rock n roll. He spends his days singing heartbroken country pop tunes. Kurt was first inspired by country songs of yesteryear. Kurt is an observer, his songs come straight from the world he lives and the people that surround him. He tells the story he sees and the day we all live in.
'You Give A Little' was recorded at A Secret Location Recorders with Paul Maybury over a few days in late 2009 and features Phil Gionfriddo (Jacky Winter, Bowerbirds, Spencer P Jones) on ghostly guitars. One More Night, Oh Jane and Crazy were recorded solo and live at a hot and dusty intimate show in Summer 2010. Kurt's busy putting together a studio band for a recording due out September 2010.
Look out for Kurt Jackson in your local press and playing live at venues around Australia.
He is strongly influenced by Tom Petty, Sheryl Crow, Bruce Springsteen, Cat Power and Lucinda Williams. He credits his style to old country favourites like Pasty Cline, Willie Nelson, as well as Australian icons Paul Kelly and Spencer P Jones.
