About me: Let's see... I'm a violin/mandolin/guitar player who lives in Northampton, MA. I play in some awesome bands, am available for session work, and also offer violin instruction. You can easily find me drinking coffee around town. I will be writing a better "about me" section when I have enough time to do so, but until then, check out my bands....
-The Thungs-
-The Others-
-World's Greatest Dad-

If you have a band and would like to work in western central Massachusetts, I may be able to help book you. I started NC Booking back in '89 when I was booking a few bands from Scotland and Ireland. Now, 20 years later, I'm still booking great roots music acts. To find out more, visit http://northamptoncommunity.ning.com where you can REGISTER. Thanks!
Please check out our new comedic “vampire bankers” music video. The guy who directed this also directed Madonna’s first music vid. We think it’s pretty funny. It’s available as a free mp3 download on http://www.ukejackson.com
Thanks for being our friend! Uke Jackson and the NY Ukulele Ensemble
