Jackson Taylor

11:30 AM - 1:45 PM

Saturday, August 30 @ Lions Park

Jackson Taylor grew up in Medford, Wisconsin and currently resides in Weston, WI. He covers early to mid 2000’s country music along with many originals. With a unique acoustic driven country sound, his sound is inspired by country artists Jason Aldean, Riley Green, & Canaan Smith. His single “Stay The Same” is a true description of what Jackson is all about, growing up in rural northern Wisconsin, having a coonhound and being the car guy he is. Much of Jackson’s writing is influenced by his life, his passions, his wife, and family. “Back Pew Praying” (May 2024) also touches on some trials and addictions one might have with their faith & battling with any type of addiction, or struggle along the path. Jackson’s Live Acoustic Show covers the Midwest in mainly Wisconsin with 85 different venues and close to 175 shows in 2023.
