Accolades about Jackson Thatcher and his solo album have been pouring in:

“…From the first notes I heard him play, maybe a year or two ago, yeah, Jackson, I hope you don’t take this the wrong way, but you’re a freak of nature! And I say that with all due respect. But it’s true man, I just can’t wait to hear what this guy keeps coming up with.” ~ Jason Scheff, bass player/frontman for the legendary band Chicago.

“In all my years as a player and teacher, I’ve never personally known anyone so accomplished at his age as 14-year-old guitarist, Jackson Thatcher,” says Mike Bauer, solo artist who has also played with Pam Tillis, Little Big Town, Bo Diddley and others. “His debut CD, The Path, is a beautifully composed and performed project. The Path showcases his acoustic guitar style which has a wonderful blend of both technical prowess and heart with a writing style that’s both groovy and optimistic.”

“Jackson is a good, young player and we appreciated having him at the Galaxie Agency/Nashville Blues Society Showcase,” says Gina Hughes of the Galaxie Agency, who organized the B.B. King’s showcase. “I definitely believe the future of our genre lies with great kids, such as Jackson.”
