Jackson Glasby
At 17, Jackson Glasby had a heart attack during a high school basketball game. The surgery that followed left him grounded, nowhere to go, nothing to do but sit and play guitar. Five or six hours a day, every day. That’s where this started.
Glasby is from Fort Gibson, and he’s been quietly making his presence known on stages around the region. Open mics in Tahlequah, a set at the Blue Note, and a two-night run in Texas opening for Kyler Smith. He and Kyler met when both played The Vanguard. That’s how it works at this stage: one room leads to another.
His sound is his own. “It’s not necessarily old school country,” he’ll tell you, “but it’s not red dirt either.” Folky, fingerpicked, story-driven, with enough grit to hold a room and enough warmth to quiet one down. He draws on artists like John Fullbright and Tyler Childers, and some listeners hear echoes of Neil Young and James Taylor in the tone and storytelling approach of his music. It never feels like imitation.
He has originals on Spotify, including Wasted With You, and more being recorded. He first walked into Tunes @ Noon on March 1, 2025, already finding his footing. Since then he’s been showing up on regional stages across Oklahoma and Texas, building the kind of momentum that doesn’t happen by accident.
That’s one of the quiet rewards of Tunes @ Noon. You meet them here, you learn their story, and then you watch the world start to catch up. With Glasby, that’s already happening.
