Jackson Sloan has built up a reputation as an exceptionally talented frontman. He has performed at many prestigious Rhythm & Blues and Rockin' festivals, clubs and dance events across the Globe and has written and recorded many songs that have become favourites on the 'Vintage' music scene.

 
In 1982 Jackson formed ‘Rent Party’, a jump jive, rhythm blues band playing the sounds of Louis Jordan, Big Joe Turner, Jimmy Liggins and Wynonie Harris. Along with the Chevalier Brothers they helped pioneer the jump sounds revival both in the UK and in Europe. Rent Party held a weekly residency at the Railway hotel and the Queens hotel in Southend-on-Sea in Essex. Packing out these two iconic venues led to an agency deal in London.

 

Rent Party then became one of the best and most popular live acts around. Numerous tours led to the band being invited by George Wein to play the Kool Festival for three nights at top Roots music venue, the Lone Star in Greenwich village, New York. Rent Party released four singles and one live album on Waterfront Records culminating in working with top blues producer Mike Vernon.
 

After getting together in London with Ray Gelato and his great pianist Gunter Kurmeyer, they started putting together the songs. They brought in a top double-bass player Peter Pritchard who’s worked with Scotty Moore, Eric Clapton and Alvin Lee. Guitar duties fell to Richard Studholme who has played with Hubert Sumlin Big Jay McNeely Lowell Fulson, Carey Bell, Eric Bibb and many more. On drums Mike Thorne one of the best Rhythm blues drummers in the UK, who also produced the recording at his vintage studios Rimshot.

​

Jackson shortly formed Jackson Sloan and the Rhythmtones, a seven-piece outfit, that went on to record some of Jackson's biggest 'hits' to date. The Band have performed at many of the great festivals around the world and have collaborated with many or the cream of R'n'B artists in the UK and in Europe in performances and recorded works.

​

Jackson Sloan’s latest CD is Radio Internationale in which Jackson has collaborated with Benny & the Cats from Italy and the Velvet Candles from Spain.
