AccuRadio Song Of The Day-Jade Jackson


Artist:Jade Jackson

Song:Finish Line

Album:Gilded


Jade Jackson is a singer songwriter who straddles the line between country and rock. Her 2017 debut album was critically acclaimed. It looks to me like she is still trying to figure out who she is musically. Jade was born in 1992 in Santa Margarita, CA, a small town near San Luis Obispo. She wasn't allowed to watch TV or go online. But her parents had a pretty good record collection. Then she went to a Social Distortion concert. And that inspired her to start writing songs. While attending California Institute of the Arts in 2000, she broke her back in a fall from a rope swing. This led to an addiction to painkillers and depression. She used songwriting to cope with that. When she returned to performing, she was spotted by a friend of her mother Christine Ness. Her husband is Social Distortion leader Mike Ness. He got her a record deal with roots music label ANTI- and he agreed to produce Jade's 2017 album Gilded. Jade wrote all the songs. Guests include fiddler Sara Watkins of Nickel Creek. The album was critically acclaimed. Ness also produced Jade's 2019 album Wilderness which is more of a rock album. She has also formed Jackson+Sellers with singer songwriter Aubrey Sellers and they released an album last year. Aubrey is the daughter of country singers Jason Sellers and Lee Ann Womack. She had recorded two albums for ANTI-. The album was recorded with Aubrey's band. So maybe that is Jade's future. Time will tell. Here's the video for Finish Lune by Jade Jackson.
