Evan Jackson

**Evan Jackson** is a Canadian indie folk singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist hailing from Kingston, Ontario, known for his raw, introspective songwriting and DIY ethos. Blending gritty acoustic storytelling with lo-fi charm, his music often grapples with themes of mental health, small-town struggles, and personal growth, delivered through a voice that cracks with vulnerability. Jackson’s project *My Roadside Elegy* (which shares its name with one of his standout tracks) serves as a creative umbrella for his work, including self-recorded EPs like 2022’s *Peace Paper Pleasure* and live sessions like the haunting *It’s Not You (CFRC Live Sessions)*. A fixture in Ontario’s grassroots music scene, he’s built a reputation for intimate performances and collaborations with fellow Canadian artists, pairing poetic lyricism with melodies that linger like campfire smoke.
