“Great songs, great lyrics, great band!” … Gene Shay,
Jackson Pines
Jackson Pines have a foot in both the traditional and contemporary camps. They describe their sound as “original singer-songwriter indie folk music. While blazing their own trail musically, the members of the group are still influenced by the past. Like a mash-up of James Taylor and Tom Petty — with serious focus on acoustic guitar, Jackson Pines have a collection of music that presents a unique lyrical take on life, bringing a rustic flair to the world of indie-folk/acoustic music.
Jackson Pines is Joe Makoviecki on guitar and vocals and James Black on upright bass and banjo. The band has three albums out: Purgatory Road, Close to Home and Pine Barrens Volume 1.
“Jackson Pines artistic progression is still in steady swing with their knack for intelligent lyricism, finely crafted production and arrangements, and a genuine sense of musicality and vitality.”
