Jackson Boone - The Dolphin Turned Into a Cat (MP3)

Sharlese's pick for today is "The Dolphin Turned Into a Cat" by Jackson Boone from his forthcoming self-released 2015 album Natural Changes. Says Sharlese...

A friend of mine who lives in Portland put out a Facebook post asking his network who their favorite current Portland bands and artist were. I was in the chain because I had just visited Portland and was super inspired by the city to check out more music. I made some suggestions, but watched the thread closely because I wanted to find out what people had to say. Someone posted Jackson Boone and I checked him out and was so excited! I love listening to new music that I instantly fall in love with, and Jackson was one of them! I did more research and found out that he was working with Riley Geare from Unknown Mortal Orchestra on his albums! This track is from his upcoming album Natural Changes due out this summer and is already on my Local Top 10.

Jackson Boone just wrapped up his very first tour, and will be playing a hometown show on May 3rd at Mississippi Studios. Keep an eye on his Bandcamp or Facebook page for possible Seattle shows. Boone's sophomore release Natural Changes will be out this Summer on vinyl, CD, and cassette. Watch him perform today's Song of the Day on TVPDX below:
