Jackson Crossing performs a fun mix of rock, pop, and country music. We are made up of 5 professional musicians with decades of performance experience. All five members are vocalists giving us a huge vocal range and amazing harmonies. Some of our favorite artists to cover include Tom Petty, The Pretenders, INXS, No Doubt, Journey, Don Henley, The Eagles, and The Electric Light Orchestra (ELO).
I recently celebrated my 50th birthday and had the fortune of having Jackson Crossing make it an unforgettable night. I cannot express enough how thrilled I am with the performance. They truly made my special day an absolute blast!
One of the band members came to my house twice before the event to go over where they would play and detailed when they would show up.
On the day of the event they showed up on time and when they started playing the energy of the party skyrocketed. The band members were not just musicians, but also charismatic performers who engaged with the audience. They even had one member ensure that the sound quality was top-notch the entire performance.
I cannot recommend Jackson Crossing enough. They made my 50th birthday party a great event.
Price Range: $500 and up

Here's what to expect if you work with Jackson Crossing:
We will book a time with you a few days before the event to see the location and decide exactly what all we need to bring with us to set up. This is when we'll work out how we will get in and out, where we plug-in, where we play, where the bathrooms are etc. We will try to ask all our questions so we don't have to interrupt anyone on the day of the event. We will answer all of your questions as well.
Our drummer will show up on the event day 2 hours before we go on to start setting up. Other band members will arrive over the next 90 minutes to set up and sound check.
About 30 minutes before showtime , we will do an end-to-end sound check and perform a song to see how it sounds. You're welcome to listen so we can fine-tune volume to your liking. But, just like song selection, we're happy to do this ourselves so you don't have to lift a finger while you're getting ready for the big event.
We will play from for two hours without breaks so there's no interruption to the fun. For longer set lists, we take short breaks each hour and leave recorded music playing to keep the energy moving.
At the end, we pack up discretely and let you enjoy the rest of your event.

Some of the things that set us apart from others:
- 5 different vocalists gives you great harmonies and lots of musical variety.
- Our repertoire spans from the 60's to today with a mix of rock, pop, alternative & country.
- We have a sound engineer who travels with us - so we can adapt the sound quality for any venue
- We can provide our own sound-system or work with yours.
- In-Ear Monitors with no live monitors - giving us very discrete sound control
- Stage lighting & lasers to crank up the party atmosphere
Some of our favorite artists to cover include Tom Petty, The Pretenders, INXS, No Doubt, Journey, Don Henley, The Eagles, and The Electric Light Orchestra (ELO).
We are a 5 piece band with drums and keys - but we've fit ourselves onto some small stages. Whether you have an enormous stage or just a wide sidewalk - we've found ways to make things work.
If needed, we have our own sound system including outdoor quality subwoofers and PAs. We have a sound engineer who travels with us and monitors sound quality on a portable app from different parts of the audience.
We work with in-ear monitors so we don't have to use live stage monitors. This gives us very discrete control over the sound - if you need it more loud or more quiet - we have you covered.
We do not need extra power - we can easily run the whole show off one electrical outlet.
We have stage lighting that we can bring, or we're happy to work with yours.
