*WINNER OF THE FRINGEWORLD 2024 WEEKLY MUSIC AWARD*
Jessie Gordon’s Approximate Folk (JGAF for short) is a riotous musical ferris wheel – one that’s possibly on fire depending on the day. Featuring Jessie’s original music, there’s aching blues, rollicking country, a cheeky bit of swing, some lush ballads, and some general nonsense (our favourite).
The band features Jessie’s long-time dream team rhythm section, Karl Florisson on double bass, Gregory Brenton on drums, and the incredibly fast-fingered Jon Knox-Matthews on electric guitar. In the front line, Jessie is joined by Grammy award winning pedal steel player Lucky Oceans and the incomparable Mark Turner.
