Jacksboro Highway gradually evolved in the early ‘noughties’ from sessions at an acoustic night in Northamptonshire. The original trio formed when Martyn Fitzhugh (lead guitar) joined Steve Smith (vocal & rhythm guitar) and Dave Butler (bass guitar) who were already gigging as a duo. Brought together by a shared love of blues and blues influenced music, this line-up of seasoned veterans proved to be very popular and made two albums - Light'n the Load in 2005, and Diversions in 2006. Early in 2010, roots musician and promoter, Kev Buxton, started busking with them and was duly recruited on harp and vocal.
