Description:
Stevan Jackson is a Celtic harpist and fingerstyle guitarist. As a performer, Stevan Jackson explores several genres of music. Like a silversmith who produces fine works of jewelry and other precious items, Stevan is a tunesmith who, through the use of a wide variety of musical instruments, weaves together song and story with a magical flair.
During his eclectic weavings, the audience may hear Celtic harp, guitar, dulcimer, Autoharp, tin whistle, or banjo intertwined in the background of a song or a story. Or he may weave melody and counter melody into an instrumental solo of fine musical lace and filigree within a folk, classical, pop, jazz, or original melodic setting. Much of his material highlights music from different cultures in an informative and entertaining manner.
