Jackson is in many ways a hidden gem of creativity. I started realizing this years ago when our store started promoting all-age rock shows. There were always new bands popping up in an endless fashion. Today as a shop owner and the creative director of Fondren After 5, I am more certain than ever that there is a growing strength of creatives in Jackson. I feel Jackson is now a fertile resource that brings many artists back from other places where many had escaped to learn. Now many are back bringing knowledge and inspiration from other big cities and the artist revolution is happening – Yes, in Jackson Mississippi. I am proud to be from here because JXN is now a never-ending supply of the same inspiration that I used to have to chase elsewhere.
Join us tonight at Fondren after 5! We will have tents set up in front of Fondren Corner and Brent’s Drugs. Don’t miss this amazing Jackson event!
