Man, what a great weekend this past weekend. Friday, I got a chance to play an acoustic show with my long time and very good friend Nathan Clewell at Red Dirt Grill in Lawton. What a great time!! We'll do it again, so I hope you can make it to the next one!
Saturday, I shot the video to my new single, Oklahoma County Line. Thanks to The Hopper Ranch for letting us use their facilities, and thanks to Gary and Tammy for getting some great footage! I can't wait to share the finished product with you guys! Here's a pic
Finally on Sunday I got a chance to play Texas Red Dirt Roads with Justin Frazell at Fat Daddy's in Mansfield, TX. What a great time telling stories and song swapping with Bo Phillips and Bart Crow. Thank you to all the fans for coming out to the show and for those of you who got to listen online!
It was a lot of work, but more than anything it was a lot of fun. Thank you all for your support, I couldn't do it with out you!
Just got booked to play at The State Fair of Texas on The Chevrolet Main stage on Sunday, Oct. 7th! I'm really looking forward to it! Should be a great time, so anyone going to The State Fair of Texas, come out and see the show!
Hey all, we are heading into the studio to record a demo of one of my new tunes. Really looking forward to it! We'll be recording at Flatland Recording Studio in Stillwater, OK with my good friend Tony Pearce engineering. Look for pics and video clips throughout the day!
So, I'm currently couching it up working on a ton of different things Brandon Jackson Music related. I'm really excited about this upcoming year and I'm so determined to introduce more and more people to me and my music! An artist would be nothing without their fans and I'm grateful for all of you who call yourself Brandon Jackson fans! You are so important to what we do here, and I want to say thanks for helping us spread the word! Keep it up!

I'm sure you saw through Facebook and twitter updates that we had a few rehearsals over the Christmas holidays to update the set for this next year. We have some new originals and have worked up a few new cover tunes to put in the set. We're working hard to keep the live show fresh for the fans and for ourselves. Who wants to see the same show over and over again. I don't! We've also added a new piece of equipment for the live show. We are now traveling with an in-ear rig! We broke it in last week at the show at Riley's Place in Marlow, and couldn't be happier with how it's gonna help with our live sound. A Big thanks to Mike for putting it together! For all you tech peeps, here's a pic:
Sam was out at Outlaws in Stillwater a couple nights ago and got a video of them playing 'Dancing'! A big thanks to Outlaws for playing my music in your club! Very cool.
Ok folks, I've spent all afternoon writing this blog entry as I work back and forth between 20 things! Ha! I have to wrap it up and get to work on some other stuff. I hope you will join us on what promises to be a fun and exciting year! Keep spreading the word and we'll see ya at a show near you!

Abilene before sound check. Sam is on guitar and Mike is on the "Garage Band" drum kit on
his iPhone. The Rock hand is strong with these two. Funny stuff!
I hope everyone had a very happy and safe Thanksgiving and Black Friday! We have
several shows coming up before the end of the year and I hope you can
make it out! We played last weekend at Grady's 66 Pub in Yukon, OK and
had a blast! Thanks to Nathan and Grady for having us, and all the fans
for coming out to the show! Tonight, I'll be acoustic at Toby Keith's at
WinStar Casino in Thackerville, OK! I hope you have awakened from your
Thanksgiving Day coma and are ready to get out of the house and enjoy
some live music! The show starts at 9:30. See ya there!
We have shows in Dallas, Wichita Falls, Altus, Tulsa, Lubbock, and
Oklahoma City coming up, so check out the calendar and make plans to
join us in a city near you! Thanks for all the support and we can't wait
for what 2012 has in store for Brandon Jackson Music!
