Swimmers Jackson

Swimmers Jackson is the creative moniker of Niall Jackson, a Dublin-born, London-based artist who has carved out a distinct niche in the Irish and indie pop scene. For over a decade, Jackson has been a driving force in music both as a solo artist and through projects like the energetic indie-grunge band Bouts and punk outfit Sweat Threats, touring widely and sharing stages with respected acts such as Johnny Marr and Cloud Nothings. After releasing early EPs as part of the trio “Swimmers,” Jackson moved to London in 2015, reconfiguring his sound into a more solo, singer-songwriter direction under the name Swimmers Jackson.

His music blends indie pop, folk, and rock influences, marked by catchy melodies and thoughtful lyrics that touch on themes of identity, uncertainty, and the search for meaning in changing times. Jackson’s debut solo album, Murmuration, arrived in 2020 and was followed by his second album, Now Is All, in 2023—both praised for their emotional depth and upbeat, accessible sound. Swimmers Jackson has become known for his live performances that capture the spirit of indie pop, making lasting impressions at venues and festivals across Ireland and beyond.
