Silver Jackson

Essentially the project of singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Nicholas Galanin. Silver Jackson generally includes a revolving cast of supporting musicians. Silver Jackson has mixed everything from broken blues to lo-fi folk. The son of blues musician Strummin Dog, Nicholas Galanin grew up in a musical home and formed the shape shifting band Silver Jackson in 2005. The rumor still holds that a whiskey drinking blues musician had gifted Nicholas with the alias Silver Jackson after a street jam. With this new alias, Silver Jackson began writing and recording, issuing his first Ep Moves Like Music, which introduced Galanins’ eclectic sounds to the record label.
