Jaxonville is an exciting, award winning, fresh young talent from Brisbane, Australia. They have spent most of their young lives pursuing their musical dreams and doing the hard yards traveling to venues to perform as far afield as Victoria and North Queensland. Jaxonville, twin sisters Rebecca Jackson (Fiddle, Mandolin, Guitar Vocals) and Rachael Jackson (Rhythm Guitar and Vocals) are versatile in the music they sing and play. Two gifted individuals who take vocal harmony to new heights. Jaxonville sometimes performs with younger sister Andrea Jackson in a three part harmony group.
This has always been considered meant to be and it seems like forever, as the girls have been writing songs and performing together from an early age. They are well accomplished songwriters and have performed their own songs at many established venues over the past few years, including, The Lord Mayors Golden Casket, Channel 7 Xmas Carols at the River Stage in December 2005, in front of an audience of 50,000 - a very memorable moment for them.
In 2005 the Jackson sisters were noticed busking and performing in Tamworth and invited to perform their original compositions on the ABC Trailer in Bi-Centennial Park and were the only New Unknown young Act invited for an interview and live performance to be roadcast direct to air on ABC/New England alongside very talented Major Signed Artists and bands on the same stage. This band has appeared and performed at such events as: 2005/2006 Caboolture Qut Urban Country Music Festival, Gympie Music Muster, Tamworth Country Music Festival, Mud bulls & Music and various gigs in the USA in 2008 including the Mt Vernon Nights Summer Parks Festival, and the Nunn Brothers Bluegrass Festival to date.
During this time they also had the opportunity to be backstage quests with Ricky Skaggs during the Bluegrass Night at the Ryman Performances, in Nashville, TN.
They are also very talented individual vocalists as well as a duet act, well known for their harmonies. Music has been a lifetime event and individually each vocalist shines but with their combined voices is nothing short of dazzling! To date they have released a few songs from their latest record and have received an extensive amount of airplay on Country Music Radio in Australia.
Jaxonville was nominated Top 4 finalists at the 2006 Annual Q Song Music Awards and the Annual Music Oz awards held in Sydney’s Enmore Theatre for Country and Pop sections, finalist at The 2006 16th Annual American Independent L.A Music Awards held at Kodak Theatre USA and 2006 Nescafe Big Break semi-finalist. Members, Rebecca and Rachael of Jaxonville have since been nominated and Winners for Best Duo at the 2008 Tiara Awards.
This exciting duo is very lively with a unique ability to engage the audience with their performance, they have been described as not only singers/instrumentalists but also Entertainers with harmonies that can only be achieved by being sisters.
