Chanteur Country US de Waco (Texas).
Hailing
from Waco, Texas, New York-based singer/songwriter Jarrod Dickenson was first
exposed to music via his father's record collection, listening to the
Beatles, the Who, and the Rolling Stones before finding his way to classic
American blues. Picking up the guitar at the age of 18, Dickensonstarted
immediately writing his own material; while shifting his listening habits and
focusing on the likes of Bob Dylan, Hank
Williams, and Townes Van Zandt to inform his own songs. While in his final
year at university, Dickenson wrote and recorded his debut album, 2008's Ashes
on the Ground. Heading out in support of the release, he found himself in
Nashville, where he recorded a handful of songs, including "Walking in Central
Park." Dickenson entered the song in the 2011 Belfast Nashville Songwriters
competition in Northern Ireland -- he won the grand prize and headed to Europe
to play in Belfast for the first time.
Returning to the U.S., he relocated to Los Angeles to record his sophomore
album. Drafting in Grammy-winning producer Ryan Freeland (Aimee Mann, Ray
LaMontagne) and a select group of backing musicians, he recorded the more
country-leaning The Lonesome Traveler. 2012 saw him head back to Europe -- with
dates in London and once again at the Belfast Nashville competition -- before
relocating to New York. Dickenson headed back and forth across the Atlantic over
the next couple of years to tour before releasing the 2014 EP, Songs from Willow
St. An EP, An Evening in the Sun, appeared the following year and captured Dickenson playing
live at the legendary Sun Studios in Memphis. With his profile expanding in the
U.K., he headed back over to tour with the likes of Don McLean and the Waterboys,
as well as playing a slot at 2015's Glastonbury Festival. Although courted by
major labels, Dickenson continued on his own and set about recording his third
album, this time in Eastbourne, U.K. Recording to 2" tape to give the release an
authentic analog feel, the resulting country-soul and folk-referencing Ready the
Horses was finally released in late 2017 by Decca.
