about

Jeffrey Scott first picked up the guitar at the age of six. He learned to play from his uncle, John Jackson, a renowned musician from Fairfax, Virginia. The elder Jackson, born in 1924, had given up the guitar by the late 1940s but was “discovered” in the 1960s by the folklorist Chuck Perdue.​​ In the later years of his life Jackson released six albums and toured the U.S. and Europe.
Blues runs in Jeffrey Scott’s blood; and like his uncle, Jeffrey doesn’t play in pursuit of fame. His days are spent in Culpeper, Virginia, where he and his wife run a successful 100-acre family farm, raising hogs and Texas Longhorn beef cattle. Jeffrey also works as a mortician and a long-haul truck driver. Jeffrey sees it as his mission to carry on and pass on the traditional music that he learned from his uncle. These acoustic blues songs tell the story of Jeffrey life’s work and lay claim to his rich cultural heritage.
