Tyger Jackson is a singer/songwriter musician living and creating on the unceded traditional territories of the coast Salish peoples. She plays folk/country/indie acoustic tunes for the everyday souls.
Tyger has been listening since before she can remember. Listening not only to music, but to the heartfelt wisdom that life has to offer. This generates her sound, which has a most honest heartbeat. Sharing her gift has always been a deeply personal, vulnerable act, but she puts her all into everything she creates, with the hope that you will connect to her words and the deep emotion her sound evokes.
Her vocals share the emotionally resonant eloquence of Cat Power, and the undeviating passion of Jenn Wasner (Wye Oak), along with the effortlessly husky and sweet fluidity of Joni Mitchell. She has sound that holds a certain presence, one that you have to hear live to fully comprehend.
Growing up in an unforgiving environment forced her to evolve at a young age. The rawness, intensity, and integrity in her music represents the perseverance she has learned. Singing has always been a cathartic release and a potent healer for Tyger.
Taking inspiration from not only music, she is influenced by the beauty and mystery of her immediate environment. The heartaches and the heartbreaks. The unwavering strength and resilience in hard times.
Tyger's friends and family connections are as wide as it gets. They know and love the art she creates, and they also know this is just the beginning... Come be part of the magic.
