Emerging Artist Spotlight: Jackson Guthy

The Summer Break Tour, featuring Big Time Rush and Victoria Justice, made a stop in Raleigh, North Carolina last night at the TWC Music Pavilion at Walnut Creek to a large crowd who clearly got into the spirit of the evening by dancing and singing along with the various performers. The opening acts consisted of Olivia Somerlyn and 17-year-old Jackson Guthy, who performed a six song set to kick things off. Guthy's performance was energetic and upbeat, as he sang about young love, broken hearts and finding your way in the world. The young singer/songwriter/piano player performed five original songs, as well as "Feel So Lucky," which is a mash-up of Calvin Harris's "Feel So Close" and Daft Punk's "Get Lucky." Jackson began playing before I could find my seat, but I was able to see and hear the majority of his set. His best selection, "Brothers and Sisters" speaks about the end of a relationship, which is made more difficult by interference from other people. Jackson's band consists of Brook Alexander on drums, Toby J. Kim on guitar and George Kosturos, who danced around the stage during the set to help get the crowd motivated with his energy.
 
I had the pleasure of being seated next to part of Jackson's entourage and I would like to thank Carl, Ann and Jack (I hope I have the names and spelling correct!) for providing information regarding the set list and the band members. It was great to meet all of you!
