Hrothgar Jackson is at times a solo act, and other times performs with the Hrothgar Jackson Band, a trio comprised of Hrothgar on vocals and guitar, Adrian Popple on bass, guitar, back-up vocals, and Doug Quiring on drums and back-up vocals.

They perform original material written by Rodger Cove that is best described as alt-country singer-songwriter stuff; songs about heart break, desire and regret, with a slacker philosophy and a wry, ironic point of view. A collection of fifty-two of these songs have been compiled in Hrothgar Jackson’s Songbook, Vol. 1, Infidel and other Lyrics.

Hrothgar has performed at countless open mics in Vancouver and on Mayne Island, and has lately been gigging with the band as a featured act at pubs and lounges. In April 2022 they presented twenty-four original songs at Vancouver’s Performing Arts Lodge Studio Theatre in an evening that was recorded and filmed, and is the source of a forthcoming series of videos.
