SUMMARY:Live Music Weekends with Eric Jackson & Willow River
DESCRIPTION:Eric Jackson & Willow River craft songs that feel like autumn—warm\, textured\, and timeless. Blending alternative country\, bluegrass\, and touches of folk/Americana\, their music is rooted in harmony-rich storytelling and a deep connection to the land they call home. Based in Ontario’s Waterloo Region\, the band draws its name from the original (pre-colonial) name of the Grand River: Willow River—a tribute to the area’s Indigenous heritage.
