Voted numerous times as Rochester’s Best Busker, Jackson Cavalier combines blues, folk, country, bluegrass, and Americana. He released his first album, “Barefooted & Still Breathing,” with his band The Fevertones in 2013. His latest solo album, “Spellbound,” was heavily inspired by the music of Townes Van Zandt, Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band, and Shakey Graves. “He's a dynamic, exciting musician, who combines different styles of music and literary influences into really cool, compelling songs,” says WXXI’s Mona Seghatoleslami. Playing harmonica, guitar, drums, and singing all at once, he performs a variety of re-imagined covers and originals at festivals, farmers markets, and beyond. https://www.jacksoncavaliermusic.com​
