Jerron Paxton
Jerron Paxton made his UK debut two weeks ago playing Later with Jools on BBC 2 after the release of his debut album Things Done Changed on Smithsonian Folkways in October. Jerron is a charismatic multi instrumentalist effortlessly switching between acoustic guitar, fiddle , harp and bones playing the early music of pre war blues, rag time, bluegrass , jazz and lots more. Things Done Changed is an album of original songs that sound beamed in from nearly a century ago, when jazz and blues were performed as a means of both personal and cultural survival. Lick by lick, Paxton builds a bridge between generations gone and generations to come, singing the heartaches and joys of the past and present.
