Patty Jackson is a singer songwriter, multi-instrumentalist performer, teacher, community song leader. She has the voice of an angel with a unique guitar style creating rich chord progressions and stunning textures by using open tunings and multiple capos. Not to be content to be pigeon holed into one style of music, she blends folk, roots, blues, country, americana and a touch of jazz into her repertoire. Recently, she has added ukulele and baritone guitar into her shows. She can get her audience clapping, tapping and singing along with songs of strength and resilience, weaving a spell bounding musical story about a little forgotten street in her neighborhood or get folks laughing about the silliness that can sometimes be the human condition.
When Patty moved to the Front Range in 2004, she found her musical community by joining Resonance, the Women's Chorus of Boulder. In Resonance, she met Angie Holley and Bylo Farmer and they co-founded the band, "Somethin' About Lulu". Their tag line is "Harmony and Hilarity" and they are a favorite local group. They also recorded a CD of original and cover songs.
Patty plays with:
· "Somethin' About Lulu",
· "The Good Schemers" an Americana band performing original songs and covers.
· She is the band leader and teacher of a 20-women ukulele ensemble "Joyful Ruckus".
· She is a member of the 120-voice "Resonance, The Boulder Women's Chorus".
Patty is also a solo performer and does music for all occasions - senior homes, weddings, memorial services, backyard concerts, Folkie Karaoke sing along gatherings, open mic and a jam host. Patty teaches beginner and advanced ukulele classes, guitar, individual and band coaching and performance techniques to help people become confident to play their music for themselves and others.
