Biography

Jackson Capps is a country artist and songwriter based in Nashville, TN. Inspired by the storytelling of country music, the Alabama native traveled back and forth to Nashville from a young age, where he had a chance meeting with Marty Stuart at the age of 12 and was subsequently invited to perform with him on the Opry stage. His excitement turned to calming peace as he performed on that famous stage, reassured in his desire to pursue a music career.

Determined to get his career underway, Capps graduated high school early and relocated to Nashville in 2018 (at 17). He has since been writing consistently and performing at Tootsies Orchid Lounge four-five times a week with his six-piece band (performing over 200 gigs/yr). Capps seeks to consistently hone his skills, learn from multi-talented musicians and writers, and create meaningful and emotive music.

Capps’ performed two sold-out headline shows prior to Covid-19 shutdowns, one at Workplay in November 2019 and the second at Iron City in March 2020. While interstate live performance opportunities were limited, 2021 saw Capps’ perform as the opening act for Jamey Johnson at a charity event in Birmingham, AL, which led to an incredible opportunity of Capps’ performing a full band set as the opening act for the band Alabama at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, PA. 

Jackson’s most recent single, ‘LAX’ was released August 6, 2021 with it’s Australian radio premiere the same day. ‘LAX’ is an angsty yet nostalgic first-love-lost story. Country sensibilities are evident with Jackson’s classic tone, fiddle & slide guitar, also channeling rock influences of Bruce Springsteen & Don Henley. ‘LAX’ was co-written and co-produced by Jackson, performed by his Nashville live band, and mixed by GRAMMY-award winner Brandon Bell.

Jackson's second single, 'Alabama Gone,' was released in October 2020, followed by a music video in January 2021, which has over 65,000 combined views.

'Yesterday's Makeup,' Jackson's first stand-alone single, was released in July 2020 and charted at #83 on the iTunes Country Charts in Australia.

His first release and self-titled debut EP of 2018 was co-produced with Jack Key and engineered by Grammy award winning Zach Allen.

Jackson prides himself on performing with exceptional and highly sought after musicians from across the world (Australia, Canada, and across the US). His band currently consists of Courtney Wray (backing vocals), Alex Tomlins (guitar), Eric Dysart (fiddle), Darren Theriault (bass - Garth Brooks, Huey Lewis and the News), and Jed Smith (drums & percussion).
