About

Melbourne singer/songwriter Bill Jackson has had a big couple of years. His last full-length release 'Steel & Bone' was awarded Folk Alliance Australia 'Radio Presenters Album of the Year' in 2008 and he was invited to tour the US alt country hotspots later that same year with Peter Fidler and Ruth Hazleton. Many of his songs are co-written with his brother Ross and have been described as engaging, plainspoken and articulate - songs about Hank, Morphine, High Country Lovers and our shared common experiences. Jackson was also invited back to showcase at the International Folk Alliance Convention in Memphis (Feb 2010) and to play gigs at selected venues like The Bluebird Café in Nashville. Jackson was nominated for an APRA Professional Development Award (Songwriting) in February 2011 and has just returned from a third tour to the US where he recorded a new full-length album 'Jerilderie' which was released in September 2011.
