Jackson Thomas is a Melbourne based musician.  

Along with being invited to tour with Ricky Martin in May 2015 he has been invited to open for Robbie Williams in September 2014.

 "Thomas has a stage presence similar to Michael Hutchence" -Perth times

 Jackson has a rare quality that captivates an audience and moves people emotionally. This is something that can't be taught.

 "You have the ability to draw people in, telling them a secret, there is no one else in this competition with that emotion." - Ricky Martin

 Drawing inspiration from the likes of Jeff Buckley and the greats, his pure tone and haunting voice complements his raw interpretations of popular covers and original music.

 Classically trained, Jackson was a boy soprano in the Australian Opera and performed in many musicals and eisteddfods as a teen. Winning the Geelong Rotary Club ‘Annual Star Search’ competition, an accolade shared with singer-songwriter Missy Higgins, was a defining and encouraging musical moment. A hard worker, Jackson hopes to apply the same level of dedication to his vocal career.

 "Jackson is the definition of Spirit and truth, not try hard and fake" - David Jaanz

 He lives by 3 key principles-

Power

Emotion 

Vision

 
Jackson plans to tour with his music and be able to inspire people on an international level.

Sound & Color – the follow-up to Alabama Shakes’ Gold-certified debut album, Boys & Girls, which earned the group three GRAMMY® nominations, including a nod for Best New Artist – will be released in North America on April 21 by ATO Records. Rough Trade will release the album in the UK/Europe on April 20. 

Sound & Color demonstrates the tremendous strides made by Alabama Shakes since the release of 2012’s Boys & Girls. From the gently swaying, chiming title song to the garage-rock freak-out on “The Greatest” to the psychedelic space jam “Gemini,” Alabama Shakes build on the soulful blues-rock base and map a surprising, innovative new direction. 

“We took our time to write this record, and I’m really glad we did,” says lead singer/guitarist Brittany Howard. “We were able to sit down and think about what’s exciting to us. This record is full of genre-bending songs.”

Sound & Color was recorded at Nashville’s Sound Emporium studio. The band co-produced the album with Blake Mills—a young guitar wizard who has helmed sessions by Sara Watkins and Sky Ferreira, and played alongside everyone from Norah Jones and the Dixie Chicks to Lana Del Ray and Kid Rock. 

The success of Boys & Girls paved the way for Alabama Shakes – comprising lead singer/guitarist Brittany Howard, guitarist Heath Fogg, bassist Zac Cockrell, drummer Steve Johnson, and touring keyboard players Ben Tanner and Paul Horton – to become one of the most celebrated live acts in the world, as they delivered unforgettable performances everywhere from “Saturday Night Live” to the main stages of festivals like Bonnaroo and Glastonbury. Boys & Girls charted in the Top 10 in both the U.S. and the U.K. and "Hold On," the Gold-certified lead single, was voted the #1 Best Song of 2012 by Rolling Stone.


Ben Howard returns with his 4th album, Collections From The Whiteout, produced alongside Aaron Dessner (The National). The foreboding darkness that coated Ben’s second record I Forget Where We Were and thinly veiled its follow up Noonday Dream, isn’t so evident on Collections. These are songs written from headlines scanned, or news stories scrolled past, providing inspiration for a selection of vivid narrative snapshots – the death of amateur sailor Donald Crowhurst (Crowhurst’s Meme); Russian fraudster Anna Sorokin (Sorry Kid); the man who stole and crashed a plane in Seattle (The Strange Last Flight Of Richard Russell); and the dismembered body a friend of his father found in a suitcase floating along the Thames (Finders Keepers). Alongside them, the personal anecdotes from the same scattered period living between Paris, Devon and Spain. Yussef Dayes features, as does Kate Stables (This Is The Kit), James Krivchenia (Big Thief), Kyle Keegan (Hiss Golden Messenger), and Dessner. Thomas Bartlett, St. Vincent’s go-to pianist, and Rob Moose, a long-standing arranger of strings for Bon Iver, are also present. Long-term guitarist to Ben’s band, Mickey Smith (A Blaze of Feather), remains a reassuring constant. It’s a sonic adventure that continues this nagging suggestion that Ben is one of the UK’s most inventive and naturally talented songwriters. CFTW is his latest opus, and arguably his most fully realised to date.

Musically, the multiplatinum GRAMMY® Award-nominated trio of Southern California sisters Este, Danielle, and Alana Haim trace a winding path through genres and musical eras—similar to how Ventura Boulevard paves its way through a myriad of Los Angeles suburbs and neighborhoods. Since 2012, the group have made a mark on their own terms with eclectic songcraft in the studio and electrifying performances on stages worldwide. With five career GRAMMY® nominations to date, they became the first all-female band nominated for “Best Rock Album” with 2025’s I quit, and previously made history as the first all-female rock group nominated for “Album of the Year” for 2020’s critically acclaimed Women In Music Pt. III. Prior, they released the gold-certified Days Are Gone [2013] and Something To Tell You [2017]. Over the course of a decade, they have also notched two #1 debuts on the UK Albums Chart and two Top 10 entries on the Billboard 200. Haim’s highly anticipated fourth studio album, I quit, was released in June 2025. The deluxe version of the album features three new songs, including “Tie you down” with Bon Iver.
