Jerron Paxton harks back to a simpler time. That is not to say his music is simple – far from it. The virtuosic guitarist takes to the stage with banjos, pianos, violins and more, and his lightning fingers are as dexterous as they are soulful.
Steeped in the traditions of Chicago blues, drawing on Robert Johnson, Skip James and Lightnin’ Hopkins, Paxton resurrects a sound from a bygone era with remarkable authenticity. Each performance, from ‘Every Time I Think of You’ to his other pieces, balances technical brilliance with heartfelt expression.
Don’t miss Jerron Paxton at Gosforth Civic on 14th May for an unforgettable evening of blues mastery.
