Artist Biography
Pittsburgh native Jackson Scott moved to Asheville, North Carolina to go to college, then promptly dropped out and strung together a series of low-paying jobs. Scott spent time in his bedroom recording odd psychedelic jams that sounded equally inspired by Syd Barrett and Weezer, and usually featured Scott's voice pitched up to just below Chipmunk level. He started putting them up on Soundcloud and the songs soon caught the ear of Fat Possum. The label signed the 20-year-old to a record deal and his first album, Melbourne, was released in 2013. After spending a great deal of time touring over the next year-plus, Scott returned home and began work on his next album. The result was 2015's Sunshine Redux, released by Bloodmoss. ~ Tim Sendra
