My name is Roo Jackson lead singer for the Street Jaxkson Band. Bill Whitehead and I started the band back in 2008 when I moved back to Chicago from Marietta, Georgia. I was born and raised in the Lexington, Mississippi where I got my inspiration to become a singer at a young age. My idols were James Brown, Chuck Berry, BB King, Howling Wolf, Elmore James and Jimmy Reed.
Since moving to Chicago we have had the pleasure of performing for many night clubs, Chicago Blues Festivals for past 3 years, many Corporate gigs, Merchandise Mart, Corinthian Yacht Club, JB Hunt, Dreschler Designs and many more. We are a classic energetic Blues band with a mixture of soul, funk and Rock n Roll. We've created our own sound with a professional group of entertainers. Jaymo Wilson on drums, Larry Williams bass, Lead guitar and vocals, Bill Whitehead, Paul Hanover on Harmonica and vocalist Roo Jackson. Together we are the "Street Jaxkson Band"
