Carousel Queen

Jessey Jackson is a ‘one-woman band’ from the Surf Coast. She received her first guitar at the age of seven, though things didn’t really take at first and by the age of 11 she had forgotten all but half-a-dozen chords.
Older and wiser, and with some healthy encouragement from family and friends, Jessey picked up the guitar again at the age of 25. This time it took, and in 2010 she took to the inaugural Anglesea Music Festival and performed her first professional gig. Harmonies, electronic percussion and several guitars have since been added to her act. Her new album, Carousel, features Andrea “Bam Bam” Norden, Bob Gillett, Peter Langley and Steve Thew.
