One part ‘Kossoff’, one part ‘Rodgers’ with a good dose of ‘Hendrix’. A guitar style described as mesmerising, luscious deep toned and soaring. With a rock-solid rhythm section likened to ‘Mitch Mitchell’, ‘Andy Fraser’ and ‘Jack Bruce’, the Dave Jackson Band is one of the most exciting live bands you’ll hear for a long time.
