George Jackson
Bio
“A brilliant young violinist, with a musical maturity way beyond his years” – Alan Western, describing George Jackson, an exciting, young and energetic seventh generation fiddler. Regular performances throughout Australia and New Zealand see George as both an important bearer of tradition and an innovator. Recent accolades include; 2012 Golden Fiddle Award for “Best Fiddler”, The Australian Youth Bluegrass Scholarship 2012, Winning the CMAA Australian Fiddle and Banjo Championships in 2010 and ’11 along with the FAA Young Australian Folk Musician 2010.
Music is George’s greatest passion, inspired by the contrasting styles of Bluegrass,Celtic, and Jazz. No music is a boundary, yet no detail overlooked.
