Bumper Jacksons at Montpelier Arts Center

About

The Bumper Jacksons are hot and sweet, painting America's story from New Orleans' brothels to Appalachian hollers. Unafraid to scrape together new sounds from forgotten 78's, the Bumper Jacksons boldly and elegantly balance paying homage to the traditions while fashioning their own unique, DIY style. Recognized as the region's "Best Traditional Folk Band" at the 2013 and 2014 Washington Area Music Awards, the Bumper Jacksons are playfully creative with their originals and re-imagined roots music with both power and tenderness. Bursting at the seams with some of the richest threads of old America, the Bumper Jacksons bring you into the center of a party where everyone's invited and the dance floor never sleeps.
