00:00So, I'm Andy Summers from The Andy Summers Show on 92.5 XTU, Philly's country station.
00:07And I'm very excited to introduce you all to Jackson Dean.
00:14We're just going to talk for a little bit and then he's going to perform for a little bit and it's going to be outstanding.
00:19So, Jackson, you're from not too far from here in Maryland, right?
00:22That's right.
00:23So, do you love coming back to the East Coast?
00:26I do.
00:26I do. I don't get to go home too often, but when I do, it's always good.
00:33I go and see my nieces and nephews and whatnot.
00:36Do you come from a big family?
00:37Yeah, there's like 180 of us.
00:40Yeah, that's a big clan.
00:42Rabbits.
00:42Yeah.
00:46He's proud of that too, as you should be.
00:49Congratulations on all of your success.
00:52I mean, this must have been such an exciting trip for you.
00:56Like, from Maryland to Nashville to, like, stardom.
01:01I mean, your song was on Yellowstone.
01:03So, that's a big deal, right?
01:05Yeah, it was a score for Kevin Costner.
01:08Which, I mean, getting scores and film and TV is pretty dope.
01:14I never, yeah, I always wanted something like that to, like, be a part of the score, but that it was Kevin Costner.
01:22I mean, like, I don't know how many times I've seen Dances with the Wolves and The Postman and all that stuff.
01:27So, it was awesome.
01:29It's legendary.
01:30So, did you get a chance to meet him?
01:31No, no, no, no, no, no.
01:34Someday.
01:34No, my mom keeps telling me that I have to make it happen so she can get close to Kevin Costner.
01:40You know, just, hi, Kev.
01:42You know.
01:43She has a nickname for him and everything already.
01:46Yeah.
01:46She loves her some Costner.
01:48But, no, I've written a good bit of, a good chunk of songs with a guy that's in his band, Modern West.
01:58Park Chisholm plays, he's a left-handed guitar player.
02:02But we've written songs for a couple years now, and that's the only connect I got to it.
02:07So, that's the connection.
02:08Yeah.
02:08Okay, well, that's pretty cool.
02:09So, what's your aspiration then?
02:11Like, what is, you probably didn't even think that that was going to be an option, I would imagine,
02:17having, you know, like a hit song on a major hit TV show.
02:22So, what's next for you?
02:23What is, what are your goals?
02:26Just to keep as much steady work for me and my men as I possibly can, really.
02:30That was always the goal from the beginning.
02:34And I feel like we're doing that pretty well.
02:37No, just make music all over the world, really.
02:40That's the goal.
02:41And as long as I can do it, you know.
02:44We just did 26 days, like kept flying east until I came back from the west.
02:49And, you know, just a couple continents later, you know.
02:53Favorite place that you visited?
02:55Oh.
02:58I like London a lot.
03:00I liked Europe a lot.
03:03But Scotland are my people.
03:05Those people are nuts over there, man.
03:07We did some club shows over there.
03:12We did a headline tour over there.
03:14And it was some of the hottest shows I've ever played in my life because airflow is a tricky situation for them over there.
03:21It's usually cold, but we went in the middle of a heat wave.
03:24So, anyway, besides the point, the Scots are crazy.
03:28They're nice.
03:29They're your people.
03:31Yeah.
03:31I like it.
03:32All right.
03:32So, before we have you perform a couple of songs for us, I just want to ask you a few questions so that we can all get to know you even a little bit better.
03:40And these are, like, just first thing that comes to your mind kind of questions.
03:44I call them the Andy Summer seven.
03:45Okay.
03:45So, just seven questions, no wrong answers.
03:48Good name.
03:48Yeah.
03:51That means a lot coming from you.
03:53Okay.
03:53Tacos.
03:54Hard shell or soft shell?
03:56I'm a soft shell guy.
03:57Yeah.
03:58Amen.
03:58And then you get the Doritos, and then you just put the meat on the side.
04:01Yes.
04:01Okay.
04:02Would you rather be stuck in an elevator or on a ski lift?
04:05Ski lift.
04:06Taylor Swift or Beyonce?
04:08Oh, God.
04:13I never thought I'd say I'd be a Swifty.
04:16Woo!
04:17In this.
04:18New Alam out today.
04:19Yeah.
04:20In this situation, I am.
04:22You're a Swifty.
04:23Got it.
04:23What movie will you always watch if it's on?
04:28Princess Bride.
04:30Okay.
04:31I don't know.
04:31It's a good one.
04:32I don't know.
04:32I mean, that is a classic.
04:34I can back that one up.
04:35Yeah.
04:36Who's your celebrity crush?
04:38Ooh.
04:47Flipping through the pages.
04:49When I was growing up, I used to love Tomb Raider.
04:53Okay.
04:54Jolie was my one.
04:55Yeah.
04:56Yeah, growing up.
04:56Okay.
04:57Yeah.
04:57All right.
04:58Anyway.
04:58I don't know.
04:58And what is the one thing that you wish you could do better?
05:06A lot of things, really.
05:11I wish I could speak better.
05:14You sing pretty well.
05:15Yeah, I sing pretty good.
05:16And we're looking forward to seeing you tonight with Brothers Osborne.
05:19Yeah, it was going to be a fun time.
05:20That's awesome at the Met.
05:21Yes.
05:23Good room.
05:24You'll do a couple of songs for us now?
05:26Absolutely.
05:26All right, let's hear it.
05:27Jackson Dean, everybody.
05:28Woo-hoo!
