Joe Roy Jackson

Jackson first picked up the guitar at 6 years old. He was fortunately born into a family of talented musicians. Joe Roy has his family & friends to thank for his successful start. Jackson’s mom (Mary Jackson) played lap steel guitar, lovingly teaching Joe Roy how to use the slide. His father (Keith Jackson Sr.) who played lead guitar for local country musicians, purchased  Joe Roy’s first guitar leading him into the genre of country music. His brother Keith performed with The Tempered Blues Band until he was drafted into the service during the Vietnam War, leaving all his musical equipment to Joe Roy as well as his close friend Randy Parti introducing him to the Blues which is now his main genre. Since then Joe Roy Jackson hasn’t stopped singing & playing guitar!!
