Johnaroo '26 - Tyler Jackson

​Two nights of Traditional Jazz in Boulder CO.

​Tyler Jackson is a world-renowned tenor banjoist and upright bassist. When he was just twelve Buddy Griffin noticed his talent on ukulele and approached Tyler about learning the tenor banjo. Griffin spent the next year pouring decades of banjo experience and wisdom into Tyler. After just one year he was already playing gigs and being used as a sideman on recordings.

​The Lovestruck Balladeers enchant audiences with their masterful performances and inspired repertoire of ragtime, jazz and beautiful songs from around the world. They might whip out a lost melody from a forgotten mandolin folio or they might play a Mexican waltz. They might push into a renegade rearrangement of a swing standard or get down with a country rag. Together or on their own paths, this stellar band of traveling musicians has traversed the country and the globe, carrying traditional styles into modern times. Their repertoire is a rare collection of American and international music seldom heard beyond the walls of low-lit dance halls at the edge of the known world.
