Special thanks to everyone who poured into Nashville’s Limelight on January 26th to honor the memory of Leon Jackson, a dance music pioneer for the Music City and owner of long-time partner, Ultimo Productions.
There was a remarkable outcry of support from within the community and we were able to celebrate the life of Leon Jackson with a special benefit show featuring Kaskade and 12th Planet, whereby 100% of proceeds were contributed to the family.
Although Leon Jackson departed on November 24th, 2016 his legacy will last forever. As one of the most influential figures of electronic music in Nashville, he proved that EDM could be economically viable in the country music capital of the world. The space Jackson created allowed local musicians to flourish, and he came to be a role model for an entire generation of promoters, performers, and fans. Leon Jackson is the reason why dance music lives on in Nashville.
We love and miss you dearly. Rest in peace, Leon.
