So much happened in the first year of Jackson Dean\u2019s career, including touring with artists like Brooks & Dunn and Lee Brice, making his Grand Ole Opry debut, and taking his debut single, \u201cDon\u2019t Come Lookin\u2019,\u201d to number one on the charts.<\/p>\n
Jackson\u2019s second year is shaping up to be quite a ride, currently opening for Blake Shelton\u2019s Back to the Honky Tonk Tour, releasing his Live from the Ryman album on April 14th and scheduled to open for Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Parker McCollum and Jon Pardi in the second half of 2023.<\/p>\n
When Jackson thinks about the road he\u2019s on, a certain word comes to mind that is guiding him on his journey.<\/p>\n
\u201cWords to live by. If I was to choose one to live by, it would be steady. That was somethin\u2019 my dad taught me, momentum. If you keep your momentum, you\u2019ll always be moving forward. When I was learnin\u2019 how to ride four-wheelers and what not \u2013 I mean, I grew up ridin\u2019 Appalachia, Kentucky, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado \u2013 but when I was learnin\u2019 how to ride, keep your momentum and you\u2019ll stay steady. I\u2019d really like to focus on being steady in all things. I\u2019ve had a bit of time of being wild and crazy, at least being out of somebody else\u2019s control, but I think I\u2019ll be taking a different approach this year, of being steady.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Jackson just announced that he\u2019ll release his \u201cLive at the Ryman\u201d album, featuring eight songs, including his latest single, \u201cFearless (Live at the Ryman)\u201d on April 14th.<\/p>\n
