Singer/songwriter Scott Jackson is taking part in a songwriter’s circle at The Wired Monk at 2610 West Fourth Ave., on Saturday June 21st at 8:00 p.m, along with musicians Monica Lee and Lindsay May.
Jackson is truly one of Canada’s national treasures. “If you put Tom petty and U2 in a studio together,” Jackson explains, “the Scott Jackson sound is what you might end up with!” At the age of 21, Jackson picked up an acoustic guitar and began writing songs. Shortly thereafter, he launched himself onto the Vancouver music scene with the release of his first solo CD, “Via Satellite.” Producer Jerry Wong (Damn The Diva, Bif Naked, Loverboy) was so impressed with Jackson’s song “What Are We Waiting For,” that he became Jackson’s musical collaborator and urged him to record a 6-track EP, which was released as ‘My World.’
