Soul Sessions Brum Presents: An Evening of Music with Renny Jackson & Friends
Renny Jackson returns home to Birmingham for a rare and intimate performance at The Rainbow on Wednesday 11th February.
This special night marks one year since the release of Renny’s album of poetry set to music, Low on the Sand and Loud on the Stone. The work will be performed live alongside new, unreleased material, making this a deeply personal evening that reflects both where the music has come from and where it is going.
As a Birmingham native, this show carries particular emotional weight — a home-coming in front of familiar streets, memories, and faces that shaped Renny as an artist. In the close, attentive setting of The Rainbow, audiences are invited into a shared space of reflection, connection, and storytelling through song.
The evening will also feature fantastic support from Samuel C Roberts and You, Me and the Trees, making it a carefully curated night of original songwriting and poetry set to music.
“Just been listening to tracks by Renny Jackson and loving them. Great lyrics.” George Monbiot,Guardian Columnist
“Renny Jackson writes lyrics with the sensibility of a poet, plays complex guitar with gusto andfinesse, and delivers his songs with a simplicity and directness that marks him out among hispeers.” Paul Murhpy, The Songwriter’s Cafe (UK)
“Pure and powerful...Renny’s accessible, genuine vocal tone and performance style help deliversomething decidedly honest and immersive.” Stereo Stickman (UK)
“Beautiful songs...melancholic but also sweet, philosophical, self-critical and very identifiable...Attractive, elegant and enchanting.” Sevilla Disonante (Spain)“Hope in the form of music.” Indie Criollo (Ecuador)
“A unique blend of Folk, Funk and Reggae, the artist Renny Jackson stands out among allgenres...a lively and cheerful sound.” Roadie Music (Portugal)
“A beautiful and energetic hybrid between folk, funk, and world music – that kind of music thatrequires no words to describe, only ears to listen and feet to dance.” Where The MusicMeets (Portugal)
