Two original Jackson 5 brothers bringing their group and hits to Modesto
Two of the original members of iconic Motown superstars The Jackson 5 will bring their music to Modesto.
Now touring as The Jacksons, brothers Marlon and Jackie Jackson have been joined by the late Tito Jackson’s son Taryll. The original Jackson 5 also included Jermaine Jackson and the late Michael Jackson.
The group is just one of several new shows coming to the Gallo Center for Arts since the venue’s original 2024-25 slate was announced last year.
Several more shows have been added to the remaining season at the downtown Modesto venue. Shows also have been added at Turlock Community Theatre.
Taryll Jackson has been performing with The Jacksons as a lead vocalist and dancer, according to an email from Gallo Center Director of Marketing & Communications Doug Hosner.
The show also will feature British pop star Haydon Eshun, who performed the lead in “Michael Jackson’s Thriller – Live” concert on London’s West End for more than 10 years.
In addition, Wynonna Judd has been added to the Gallo Center roster.
Wynonna and her mother, the late Naomi Judd, made up the duo The Judds, which won five Grammy Awards for its blend of Appalachian folk, bluegrass and pop. Only limited tickets remain available for Judd’s show.
Also of note at the Gallo Center is a performance by veteran crooner and hit maker Paul Anka.
