Gary is primarily playing original tunes with a twist on some traditional blues songs. Gary has been playing locally in Cleveland, Akron and Canton Ohio and regionally for over 30 years. "I use what I have learned , integrating it with my own music and take it to a new place." adds Gary.

I have a unique sound that is a blend of Bob Dylan and Muddy Waters. Yeah that's it Muddy Dylan...
Gary Jackson is a prolific songwriter grounded in the blues. His guitar style is mixture of open tuned acoustic, electric blues, and down right sleezy electric slide.
Gary is from Northeast Ohio. He lives and plays primarily in the Cleveland, Akron and Canton Ohio Area. He is currently working on some new original material and will be appearing mostly as a Singer/Songwriter. He occasionally teams up with some of his Ohio Blues pals as The Gary Jackson Band. Gary has played his style of blues in Ohio and all over the East Coast and Midwestern United States.
Check out this video of Gary and the band gettin with the blues in Ohio playing "Built For Comfort" for the Akron Ohio Summer Concert Series at Hardesty Park.

Hello The Gary Jackson Band , I thought I'd drop you a line to thank you for counting us among your MySpace friends. Have a great day and keep in touch! All the best to you and yours, from Pegasus in Bonnie Scotland.
Hey Gary: Thanks for the friend request. Like your tracks! Hope we can catch up one of these days. And yes, I agree w/your friend, there are a huge amount of musicians around these days, but isn't music just wonderful stuff! When was the last time you heard a woman play wicked harmonica with unnaturally Long notes, sing emotionally charged powerful vocals, and play finger style guitar, all in one woman? Have a listen and Play my harps to my music @ OctaviaBlues.com Take Care, all the very best, Hope to hear back from ya, Octavia
Yeah, really sad about Scott. I had talked with him about playing there, but we never set a date or anything. I'm in a kind of musical limbo too right now, as far as putting gigs together. Sometimes I think there are way too many people playing music these days. It's hard to get people to settle in one place. I think it was easier back in the day because there were fewer of us playing, and once you got people together, you had to stick together - there weren't as many directions to turn. Let me know if you ever get up this way.
I hear that !! I am constantly doing a variety of things just to keep playing. I got a call today from a percussionist who wants to start an Afro-Celt band !! Hell, I'll try about anything once. I've been playing some acoustic blues with a harp player and a bassist who's been around a long time. it's just hard to get something going, y'know ?
Kia Ora Gary. Thanks for taking the time to search me out and the friendship. Enjoyed the listen to your songs too - well done! Best wishes, Mike www.mikebrosnan.com
Hey thanks, I really appreciate people who understand the time and effort that went into my guitar playing... seems like fewer and fewer people even pay attention to it these days, and to me it's what really matters. The only reason I started singing was because to spread it to a wider audience you really need vocals!! Keep in touch!
