Not jazz, not pop, not blues, her music touches on all of those, but is equally influenced by fado, flamenco, and is endlessly evolving.

Bridie Jackson never plays the same song the same way twice, and improvisation is a large part of her live performances.

Her influences range from Amalia Rodriguez to Ute Lemper, Jake Thackray to Noel Coward, and Melanie Safka to Janis Joplin, and she’s been compared to Laura Nyro, Joanna Newsom, Josephine Foster and Rickie Lee Jones.

Not surprisingly, Bridie lives and breathes music, a fact not surprising when you learn her father is a composer and she spent much of her childhood touring the musical hotspots of Europe, sampling pretty much every style going. On stage she is known for going off the beaten track and she is always experimenting, even in the middle of a performance.

Her raw, uncompromising music is now available on her first EP, PROLONG, on Urban & Eastern Records.
