Shirley Jackson epitomizes the blues & roots experience with every performance she gives and with every recording she makes.
Shirley has been a mainstay in the Nova Scotia music scene for the past 35 years as a singer, song writer, saxophone player, guitarist, percussionist and band leader.
With the work of the band Shirley Jackson & her Good Rockin' Daddys, she's the recipient of two Maple Blues Awards for Horn Player; (2018, 2001) and she has produced four albums that were each nominated for Blues Recording of the Year by the East Coast Music Association, and the Nova Scotia Music Awards (hosted by Music Nova Scotia). The Good Rockin’ Daddys hail to a sound inspired by the early years of Rock & Roll when horn sections were an integral part of the sound of a swingin' and rockin’ good time.
Jackson has been recognized in the top ten finalists in the World Song writing Awards for River of Dust, Over a Lifetime and Stir it Up and Things Keep Lookin' Up and in the finalists for the International Song Awards for 'Before It's Over'.
Outside of the Good Rockin' Daddys, Shirley Jackson also performs a repertoire of more acoustic tunes with her son, Jef Wirchenko on Bass. The Jackson & Wirchenko duo perform a number of Shirley Jackson originals with a blend of soulful Blues, Roots, Folk and Country.
