Jackson Cage <jacksoncageband>


Jackson Cage are a Belfast-based 6 piece folk/rock group. Influenced by 60's and 70's groups such as The Band, as well as more contemporary alt. country bands, they have been building up a substantial reputation on the live Northern Irish music scene. Since their inception in early 2007 they have been performing locally at many of Belfast's most distinguished music venues, including sell-out shows at the Rotterdam Bar's New Year's Eve Festival (2007/8) and the Crescent Arts Centre's renowned New Moon Showcase (mid 2007). Other noteworthy performances include Belfast's Nashville Songwriters Festival (February 2008) where the group shared a line-up with a host of internationally renowned artists including Nancy Griffith and highly distinguished songwriters Pat Alger and Don Schlitz (author of The Gambler). Since late 2007 the group have been hard at work on their forthcoming eponymous album "Jackson Cage", which is available now from Amazon MP3, LALA.com, Rhapsody and Napster, with iTunes release to follow by mid July 2008. The ten track album aims to embody the group's raw, folk-driven approach to contemporary rock 'n' roll.

So if you like your rock with a twist of folk and country, a squeeze of west coast and served in a dirty glass then put on your flowery shirt and come along to one of the gigs and show us some love.
Anyhoo, Keep on rockin' in the not so free world. Maybe see you soon.
JC

    These guys are AMAZING!!!

    This is the best blend of 60's/70's rock combined with Dylan and bluegrass influence. The first thing you think when you hear Jackson Cage is,"Finally,some GOOD music!". These guys make their love for Irish culture and life obvious with their beautiful accents and lyrics we can all relate to. Great job blending guitar,bass,and drums with fiddle and the harp!!

    Fed up with empty promices?
    Fed up with promoters false advertising?
    Fed with playing last or first when you have no audience?
    Fed up with playing to just a small group of your friends?
    Do you still believe you have what it takes to be a professional musician?
    If the answer is yes to the above, then you should contact H.A.M. Promotions where all music is highlighted and you could win €32.000 by regestering today!!
