Jonathan Jackson + Enation have developed a reputation as one of the most
creative and
dynamic alt rock bands in the music industry today. Formed by brothers Jonathan
and
Richard Lee Jackson, the band is originally from the Northwest but now call
Nashville, TN
home – and for good reason.
You may recognize Jonathan from CMT's drama “Nashville” where he plays
‘Avery’, an up
and coming musician trying to make it in Music City. Jonathan is a five time
Emmy Award
winning actor and a recent Critics' Choice Award nominee, who has starred in
numerous TV
and films including “Tuck Everlasting”, “General Hospital”, and
“Insomnia”.
Jonathan Jackson + Enation have released four studio albums. The single
""Everything Is
Possible"" climbed the Hot AC charts to # 45 and helped propel the
band's Radio Cinematic
US Summer Tour, by playing to sold out audiences and earning high praises from
critics and
fans. Their previous release, Radio Cinematic, is an album that Rolling Stone
says is …“Filled
with electric guitars, chest-beating vocals and swirling synths…” while
Billboard Magazine
calls it “…contemporary, anthemic rock – Jackson proudly wears the
influence of U2, Peter
Gabriel and Coldplay on his sleeve as influences – is certainly something
different…”
Jonathan and Enation believe that music can be a force for good in the world.
They partner
with charities such as IOCC, an international humanitarian organization helping
to bring aid
to those in need, and the anti-human trafficking organization NOT FOR SALE,
which helps
bring awareness to combat the growing global atrocity of modern-day slavery.
“If you look around at the world, the hardest thing to do is to overcome
the darkness that
is around us — to break through that weight,” Jonathan says. "It's the
role of the artist to
push back against that. So we rebel against the darkness.
