Biography

Alternative Country • Bluegrass • Folk/Americana

​

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 and Eric’s own Métis identity.

Formed in 2021 by singer-songwriter Eric Jackson, the band quickly found its sound through a shared love of three- and four-part vocal harmonies, acoustic instruments, and songs that stick with you long after the show ends. Audiences often compare their harmony-driven sound to The Eagles—a compliment the band holds close to heart.​

​

Whether playing intimate venues or festival stages, Eric Jackson & Willow River bring an easy, earthy energy that invites listeners into their world. It’s music for campfires, porch swings, and long drives—comforting, thoughtful, and filled with joy.

​

Above all, they’re not interested in fitting into boxes. Their evolving sound reflects a belief that music is meant to be explored—and that the best songs are the ones that feel like home.
