So who IS Jackson Road and why are they on a mural?

If you've parked at Jack's Urban Eats in midtown lately, you've seen a huge mural advertising the album by local band Jackson Road. Now, these boys aren't playing a lot in midtown, but they're definitely doing some marketing. I went to their myspace page and checked out their songs, and they're pretty good. I particularly like "Gettin' Wise," which has a cool, bluesy, jamband-worth track with slide acoustic guitar.

Here's their "Hippi Chick" video, featuring the Tower Bridge...and a vocal oddly reminiscent of Julian Cope...



They're doing a CD release party at Harlow's on June 25 - may be well worth checking out if you're at all curious.

The date is actually June 26th- they're definitely worth checking out! I just saw them at the Cozmic Cafe in Placerville- they're awesome live.

See you there!!
