Jerron Paxton

Jerron Paxton is a one-man revival of the American blues tradition — raw, joyful, and electrifying. A Steve Martin Banjo Prize winner, Paxton is a virtuosic master of banjo, guitar, piano, violin, and tap dance, channeling pre-war blues, early jazz, ragtime, and Appalachian folk with breathtaking ease. His magnetic presence has lit up stages worldwide, including a standout performance on Later… with Jools Holland. Part concert, part time-travel, his shows blend deep musical scholarship with humor, heart, and unstoppable groove. Jerron Paxton doesn’t just perform this music — he reanimates it.
