Jonathan Jackson came into the spotlight as Lucky Spencer on ABC’s “General Hospital”. Jackson would accumulate 5 Emmy awards as Lucky Spencer. Most recently Jonathan is known for his role as Avery Barkley in ABC’s “Nashville”. With the recent news of the cancellation of “Nashville”, rumors are speculating another company picking up the program as fans are holding out hope and signing petitions.

Jonathan Jackson and Enation is one of the premier Indie bands in the music scene today. Influences of blues, rock and country can be heard in the new “Blameshifter” EP as Jackson belts out the lyrics showcasing the versatility of his vocals from a smooth haunting tone in “Alleluia” to a grunge rock sound in “Let The Beauty Out”. “Blameshifter” is the beginning of a new independently relased full length album due out later this year. Enation is made up of singer/songwriter Jonathan Jackson on vocals, guitar and piano, Jonathan’s brother Richard Lee Jackson on drums, and Daniel Sweatt on Bass. Connect with the band at:
