Will Slater blends country grit, southern rock edge, and Americana storytelling into a sound he refers to as ‘Southeast Emo.’ Slater, born in the alt-rock Mecca of the universe, Athens, Georgia, was raised just north in the Appalachian Foothills (Commerce, GA). His music draws from influences like Tyler Childers, Jason Isbell, and Athens legends, Drive-By Truckers. With a sound that comfortably mixes the whine of a pedal steel and the punch of fuzzed out guitars, the sky is the limit and the possibilities are endless. His new album “From Atop the High Horse” is being rolled out now through December.
Like a moonshine-fueled fire in a 100-watt amplifier cabinet, Jackson Slater’s explosive debut ushers in a new era of heavy rock from the Southland.
