JILL JACKSON

Additional information

Drawing comparisons to the likes of Brandi Carlile and Joni Mitchell, JILL JACKSON is a natural-born storyteller, who effortlessly marries swinging American charm with a Scottish heart. Her latest album "Yours Aye" takes listeners on an emotional journey as it explores themes of love, life and learning. The former front woman of noughties pop-rock group Speedway, Jill has enjoyed an illustrious 20-year career – from signing to major record label Virgin EMI and topping the UK singles chart, to performing on Top of the Pops and stages around the world such as T In The Park and Glastonbury, writing for Mel C and touring with the likes of Bryan Adams. ​ With five solo records already under her belt, Jill’s previous album, 2018’s Are We There Yet? was released to critical acclaim, reaching number 3 in the iTunes UK Country Charts. Yours Aye builds on this impressive track record, presenting a stunningly thoughtful sixth studio album. Jill has recently opened for Eddi Reader across the UK and Ireland on her 40th Anniversary Tour and is following this up with a string of 2023 performances - most of which have sold out in advance.  ​ “I love making records but the whole purpose is to stand on that stage and perform it live. To do that and watch the audience reaction is an incredible feeling. I want people to come to my shows and walk away feeling they have had an amazing night and through the performance of the songs have a deeper understand my music". “A performer who is unafraid of tackling the subjects of the heart, and whose vocals sing with joy and expression at every given moment” Liverpool Sound & Vision  ​ “Jill is amazing. Funny as F and songs of authentic truth. A Master” Eddi Reader “If you have not seen Jill Jackson live, you are missing out on a defining musical moment. It is incredible an artist of her calibre has not been snapped up” BS Live
