From the “horn section” to front stage! Kristine has been on the scene since 1998. Starting as a freelance trumpet player and ended up a full time singer, songwriter, guitar player and band leader in 2004. With musical roots in Mo-Town, rhythm and blues, classic rock and soul combined with a fresh modern sound Kristine has developed a voice all her own. She can keep the audience engaged and moved in a solo acoustic show, or combine with the full band for a soul pounding night of energy and emotions! Her carrier is unleashing new sounds to the blues world from all aspects of her music.

"Jackson sings, writes, and plays guitar and trumpet. When she gets her band cranked up, KJ and Basically Blue own the musical territory where the borders between blues, country and soul become indistinguishable..... If Elvis and Bonnie Raitt had a baby, [she] would be Kristine Jackson." • The Plain Dealer "Feeling the blues" By:M.Heaton
