Performing artist James Jackson Jr., presents an evening of gender-defying songs, ramblings from the pages of his diary, and an evening like no other. His razor-sharp wit, talent and on & off stage persona have made him an artistic force to be reckoned with. A self-described “sucker” for song interpretation and storytelling, James’ unique sense of humor is now aimed at changing the face of the cabaret stage.
James Jackson, Jr. was undergraduately reared by lesbians in the New England Bekshires after artistically growing up in Boston under the soul-food tutelage of a deep southern family. The shoes; Birkenstocks. The music; Indigo, Simone, Franklin, & Difranconian. The food; fattening. The relationships; many, lost, and strong.After being deposited in New York City over a decade ago, the real work began. Dance belts, regional stage yelts, demanding Brits, and a rather unfortunate stop in Branson, Missouri lead to his discovery of artistic truth on prestigious stages like Radio City Music Hall as well as Carnegie Hall. His highly emotional, devastatingly funny cabaret act has been seen at Joe’s Pub, Duane Park, DROM, The A.R.T.’s Club Oberon, and Los Angeles’ Lyric Theatre. James’ razor-sharp wit, unique sense of humor, talent, and on & off stage persona have become an artistic force to be reckoned with as well as a voice people want to hear as he changes the face of the concert stage. www.JJacksonJr.com
