Jerron Paxton

A masterful multi-instrumentalist and a deeply engaging storyteller, Jerron Paxton moves effortlessly between blues, folk, ragtime and early jazz, bringing each tradition vividly to life. His musicianship is authoritative yet completely unshowy, driven by an infectious sense of joy and an intuitive understanding of the music’s roots. 

Paxton’s performances are as entertaining as they are accomplished. His easy humour, rich singing voice and natural rapport with an audience create concerts that feel intimate and generous, even in large rooms. He doesn’t just play music, he invites listeners into it, sharing its history, humanity and enduring relevance. 

Soulful and irresistibly engaging, Jerron Paxton delivers concerts that stay with you long after the final note. A must-see performance from a true audience favourite.
