Jonathan Jackson, best known for his work on General Hospital and Nashville, is gearing up to release new music of his own. Last week, his band Jonathan Jackson and Enation announced they will release their Blame-Shifter EP on May 13 on Jackson's own Hilasterion Records before hitting the road on tour this spring.
The band teamed with Grammy-nominated producer Greg Archilla (Matchbox 20, Collective Soul) for this follow up to Radio Cinematic. The Blame-Shifter EP will have five original songs and one cover, all of which will go into the group's next full length album.
"I think music has always been my first love," Jackson told MStarsNews last year. "I started writing songs when I was 11 years old. My dad's a musician and I started singing when I was really young. Music is so personal. As an actor you're given lines and are trying to put your heart and soul into this character. Music, you're writing the story. It's changed my life and means so much to me."
A unique PledgeMusic pre-order campaign for Blame-Shifter will offer fans access not only to the music but to autographed merchandise, a VIP meet-and-greet with the band, a making-of documentary and even a producer credit on the next album. These perks are only available until April 5, however.
The Blame-Shifter EP will release May 13, 2016 through Hilasterion Records
