Bill Moore

The band is headed by Bill Moore, a Chapel-Hill born-and-bred picker with a penchant for snappy dressing, who writes much of the group’s material.

The Jackson Slater Band

Raised on the Allman Brothers, Skynyrd, and the Black Crowes, Jackson pays homage to the past without replicating it. With raspy, baritone vocals, Jackson combines the soul of Joe Cocker with the raw power of Chris Cornell and the country-fried swagger of Chris Stapleton. Jackson’s debut album – Holy Water Inn- will be available in early 2026 and will explore the intersection of honky tonk and hard rock.
The high powered, four piece Jackson Slater Band features the combined talents of drummer Brennan Walsh, bassist Max Jacobson, and keyboardist/saxophonist Kai Mercado. Playing originals and a list of covers that ranges from ZZ Top to Black Sabbath, the Jackson Slater Band is truly a rock n’ roll unit sure to blow your mind and leave you craving more.
