Soul Sessions Brum Presents: An Evening of Music with Renny Jackson & FriendsRenny Jackson returns home to Birmingham for a rare and intimate performance at The Rainbow on Wednesday 11th February.
This special night marks one year since the release of Renny’s album of poetry set to music, Low on the Sand and Loud on the Stone. The work will be performed live alongside new, unreleased material, making this a deeply personal evening that reflects both where the music has come from and where it is going.
As a Birmingham native, this show carries particular emotional weight — a home-coming in front of familiar streets, memories, and faces that shaped Renny as an artist. In the close, attentive setting of The Rainbow, audiences are invited into a shared space of reflection, connection, and storytelling through song.
The evening will also feature fantastic support from Samuel C Roberts and You, Me and the Trees, making it a carefully curated night of original songwriting and poetry set to music.
