Our Latest Review -
I threw my husband a surprise 50th birthday and found the Jackstones online. Everything from emails with lots of questions to setup was done so effortlessly. They were extremely patient, kind and just so easy to work with. They showed up early and was ready to go before the set up time. They were the best birthday present I could give him. The first thing my husband said to me was “you hired a band?!” He was so impressed! With the sound, the vocals, and playlist! They blew our entire guests away with their sound and energy! Jackstones, thank you so much for celebrating with us!!! You made the party a hit! - Sina and Kris

The Jackstones were an excellent choice for our annual company picnic. They arrived early to allow for plenty of time to set-up, they brought their own shade (it became quite hot), their talent was incredible and the music was pumping all afternoon, and they graciously helped us with our event raffle! I would recommend these guys to anyone hosting an event like ours. It was a real treat to have them come and play for us and we will certainly keep their contact info for future events! Hire them! - Allison K.
They were great!! Sounded amazing and definitely read the crowd and played accordingly. Definitely would hire again! - Hailey D.
The band was off the hook!. Everyone had a great time. They are super friendly and professional at the same time. We will have them back next year - Janet R.
Cannot thank these guys enough for their professionalism and talent. So easy to work with on the production side. Music was fun and lively. Can't say enough good things-- highly recommend! - Melissa C.

THE 14TH ANNUAL
INDEPENDENT MUSIC AWARDS
VOX POP WINNERS ANNOUNCED
Fan Favorites Differ From Judges By 80%
San Diego’s own The Jackstones Joins Megan Slankard, We Were Superheroes, Brad Lee Schroeder, Jazzation & Celso Salim Band As a Fan Favorite in The 14th IMAs
February 24, 2016 – The Independent Music Awards (The IMAs) today announced the results of The IMA 14 Vox Pop poll, the fan-determined portion of the prestigious international program for independent artists and releases. This year’s 'Voice of the People' favorites differed from the judge determined winners by a margin of more than 80%.
Fan favorites including Megan Slankard, We Were Superheroes, Brad Lee Schroeder, Jazzation, Celso Salim Band and The Jackstones are among this year's Winners not selected by the Artist and Industry judging panelists which included Amanda Palmer, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Lila Downs, Chris & Oliver Wood (The Wood Brothers), Lunice, Jane Monheit, Suzanne Vega, Meshell Ndegeocello, Melissa Auf der Maur, Sharon Jones, Shelby Lynn, Anthony DeCurtis (Rolling Stone Magazine), Terry McBride (Nettwerk Records) and Jason Olaine (Jazz At Lincoln Center) among many others.
Vox Pop voting began in March 2015, when more than 400 nominated self-released & indie label Music, Video, and Visual Arts projects from around the world were announced. To date, nearly 500,000 fans have championed their favorite established artists and rising stars in The IMAs Vox Pop poll. Click here to see the complete list of the Vox Pop 14 winners.
“What makes a work of art a winner? It's simple - someone has to love it," said Martin Folkman, Executive Director of The Independent Music Awards. "The discrepancy between Judge selected winners and Fan favorites illustrates that not only is art subjective - but how critical fan support is to any artist's success. Ultimately, The Independent Music Awards is not about winners and losers. It exists to help exceptional independent artists and releases find new supporters - both in the industry and among music consumers. This way everyone wins. And why new features added to The 15th IMAs will help Artists connect with fans from the moment they enter their new Song & Video projects," Folkman said.
Artistry Has Its Awards
Now in its 15th year, The influential Independent Music Awards connects top-ranked self-released and indie label artists and releases to new performance, promotion and distribution opportunities. The IMA’s active support place winners and nominees in front of millions of industry decision makers and music consumers around the world.
Album, Song, EP, Producer, Video & Design submissions for The 15th Annual IMAs are now being accepted at www.IndependentMusicAwards.com
Winners of The 15th Independent Music Awards will be announced from the stage at The IMAs first day-long live gala from Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City on November 12, 2016.
