THE ROLLING THUNDER

For THUNDER JACKSON, the line between his art and his personal journey of self-discovery has merged into one, as evidenced by the brilliantly crafted, long-awaited second album, HELLO STRANGER (VERO Music). As evidenced by the set's stand-out hits - "Spoonfed Desire," "Steady Freddy, and "The Fever & the Dream" - the project is an intentionally unfiltered view into the man he has become – flaws and all.

HELLO STRANGER is produced by Jackson and Taylor Johnson, and mixed by Grammy and ARIA award winner Eric J (Weezer, St. Vincent). The set effectively showcases Jackson at his most commandingly charismatic, as he performs with a gritty warmth and relatability throughout the set, which ranges from intimate ballads and arena-ready rockers.

ALSO AVAILABLE IN A STUNNING, LIMITED EDITION VINYL LP

“Making this album has forever changed me,” Jackson says. “It has also changed how I portray my art to the world. Every song is me sharing a piece of my story with the hope that it will be as relatable as it is personal.”

Jackson’s new musical era has also been marked by a triumphant performance at the highly influential South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin, TX. He was featured at a showcase hosted by CLASH magazine, and he brought the house down with a set of songs that combined new tunes with tracks from his multi-million streaming 2020 debut.
