Come out for the show and wish him well.

Peterborough’s own critically acclaimed blues trio, Jackson Delta returns to the Market Hall for what has been an annual reunion.

The trio have performed all over North America from Memphis to Inuvik from Vancouver to Halifax. They have played countless Folk, Jazz and Blues Festivals plus radio and television and they still enjoy a dedicated fan base from across the years.

These days all members are involved in their own personal projects but always enjoy getting together and making their style of Blues that is upbeat and positive. They’ll be playing their ‘hits’ plus a sprinkling of newer tunes. As always, I’m sure there will be the usual stage banter that inevitably gets some laughs at a band members expense.

They look forward to playing for their fans, old and new, from near and far.

$30 and $40
