Bumper Jacksons performing at Wayne Theatre Jan. 27

Chris Graham

The Wayne Theatre presents Bumper Jacksons on Sunday, Jan. 27, at 4 p.m. Tickets begin at $22.

Like an old-time barn dance in downtown New Orleans, the Bumper Jacksons pull together a vast array of early American traditions into a deliciously cohesive sound that strikes you right in the heart.

Country swing, old-time blues, brassed-up bluegrass – these high-spirit wonders do and love it all. Powerhouse vocals are flanked by a dexterous pedal steel and a brassalicious horn section, all supported by dynamic drums and bass.
