A.J. Jackson is a talented, singer/songwriter located in the Dallas area. An avid Kiss fan growing up, A.J.'s early guitar hero was Ace Frehley. He started playing electric guitar at age 14, and has been writing and recording ever since. A.J. started out playing electric guitar and listened to many rock guitarists such as Ace Frehley, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Randy Rhoads, Eddie Van Halen, and Yngwie Malmsteen. He acquired a Les Paul electric guitar, like his early guitar hero Ace Frehley, and played that for several years. After a short stint in a heavy metal band at age 17, he began to focus on the acoustic guitar. A.J. owned a small recording studio in the Dallas area and did engineering and production for many local artists. He recorded his first CD, an instrumental entitled, "Acoustically Speaking" during this time. His acoustic influences include Craig Chiquico, Phil Keaggy, and Dave Mattews. Recently, he has been busy writing, performing, and recording his most recent songs which are featured on his new CD, "Tall Walls". He has been on hiatus from touring, but is now enjoying playing various live venues around the Dallas area. He has enjoyed success opening for such artists as Austin favorite, Bob Schneider. Please check back often to see his tour schedule. His new full length CD entitled, "Tall Walls", was released October 2005, and is now available here on MySpace.
A.J.'s previous instrumental CD, "Acoustically Speaking" was featured on the University of North Texas's radio show, "The Seed's Show".
