Jackson Pines

Jackson Pines has a foot in both the traditional and contemporary camps. They describe their sound as “original singer-songwriter indie folk music." While blazing their own trail musically, the members of the group are still influenced by the past. With a serious focus on acoustic guitar, Jackson Pines (Joe Makoviecki (guitar and vocals) and James Black (upright bass and banjo) have a collection of music that presents a unique lyrical take on life. The band has three albums out: Purgatory Road, Close to Home, and Pine Barrens Volume 1. They recently released the second album in a series exploring authentic folksongs of their home region, Pine Barrens Vol. 2, as well as two new singles "Julie Jane" and "Control Burn".
