George Jackson live in St. Louis

Experience George Jackson live on July 8th

George Jackson will be performing at the Blue Strawberry in St. Louis, Missouri on July 8, 2026. Jackson is a vocalist and pianist known for his interpretations of classic American songbook standards, particularly those associated with Nat King Cole. His style blends traditional jazz sensibilities with elements of blues and soul, often featuring intimate vocal delivery and sophisticated harmonic arrangements. He has released several albums to critical acclaim, establishing himself as a respected figure within the contemporary jazz vocal scene.

The Blue Strawberry is a well-regarded listening room located in the historic Lafayette Square neighborhood of St. Louis. Opened in 2011 by Elizabeth Teel and Joe Edwards, it’s designed to emulate the feel of a classic jazz club, prioritizing acoustics and an immersive experience for both performers and audience members. The venue is known for hosting nationally and internationally recognized jazz artists alongside local talent, focusing on genres including jazz, blues, cabaret, and singer-songwriter performances. It intentionally maintains a relatively small capacity – approximately 150 seats – fostering a close connection between artist and listener. The space previously housed a bakery before its conversion into the performance venue.
