We’re excited to welcome Jerron Paxton back – this time, to The Met in Bury!

Growing up in Los Angeles, Jerron Paxton would sit with an ear by the radio, eagerly absorbing the nuances and history of Black American traditional music that connect him to his ancestral roots in the South.

A songwriter, inheritor of tradition, and a walking, talking jukebox, Paxton approaches his craft with equal part wit and reverence, with a knack for leg-pulling and cracking wise.

Things Done Changed is an album of original songs that sound beamed in from nearly a century ago, when jazz and blues were performed as a means of both personal and cultural survival. Lick by lick, Paxton builds a bridge between generations gone and generations to come, singing the heartaches and joys of the past and present.

The Met is situated in the heart of Bury – a short tram ride north of Manchester city centre.

This is a 14+ show. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.

This show is a co-promotion with The Met.
