Dave Jackson
Open Air HostDave Jackson came to JPR as a volunteer in 2011 after responding to a JPR Facebook post. He now hosts of Open Air. The depth and variety of music played on JPR have helped influence Dave's musical tastes for most of the last 20 years, and he now takes pride in helping the community discover exciting music on JPR.
Away from the station, Dave plays guitar and ukulele and sings in the local American roots music band, The Bear Creek Band. He and his wife Kirsten live in Eagle Point and enjoy many of the outdoor activities the State of Jefferson has to offer such as rafting, camping and cross country skiing.
