Jackson Sturkey & The Big Turn On

Jackson Sturkey was supposed to do this show in 2020, but then the world ended. Suddenly stuck at home and not sure what to do he began to focus on songwriting like never before while waiting for NYC to turn back on. He’s been working on an original musical, cabaret numbers, rock and roll and jazz. Jackson Sturkey is one of the last of the good times Charlies and a regular denizen of the east village’s new art scene. He’s got an hour of original music to share with you, cause the world didn’t end…And NYC, in a big way, is back on.

“Jackson Sturkey is the real deal!!!”
-Demetrius Music Productions LLC

“You’ll find yourself transported to a world that evokes after hours Broadway: where the public meets entertainers who have come to be entertained. Picture: the Jury Garland show in a bar in occupied Paris. Subversive. Raw. Emotional. Funny. Fun. Beautiful.”
-Gregory Levine: Ten Foot Rat
