Music
Tom Jackson claims music is his first love. It was the social heartbeat of his early family life, and after being handed a guitar at age 10, he is rarely seen without a six-stringed instrument by his side.
Tom has recorded 15 albums and the latest one – ‘Twas in the Moon of Wintertime – is scheduled for release October 25, 2011 by EMI Music Canada in time for his annual Christmas tour of the same name. The CD and tour marks a 20-year history of cross Canada travel raising awareness and funds for food banks, community service and charitable organizations.
Dubbed ‘minstrel with a message’ Tom’s 40+ years of songwriting has become his vehicle for social change. At the 2007 Junos, the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) bestowed Tom with the Humanitarian Award in recognition for his positive contributions to the social landscape of Canada.
Tom is completing his 16th album due out in 2012. Produced by both Tom and Rhys Fulber (Delirium) the focus of his next project is on the environment, the First Nation experience and the eloquence of storytelling in spoken word.
Whether in concert, or in a conference plenary, Tom’s music has the last word.
Tom made our first annual Mac & Cheese Luncheon an unqualified success in every respect – net revenue from it was $27,426.12
