Jackson Browne

Why see Jackson Browne?

On tour

For some, Jackson Browne is a definitive voice of the sun-soaked, mellow Southern California vibe that emanated from Laurel Canyon and spread far beyond in the mid-60s and 70s.

When his debut album came out in 1972, the world got to hear his exceptional talents. His moving, literate songs such as haunting 'These Days', and the mind-blowing ' Running on Empty' and 'Doctor My eyes' have become part of the pop culture map, inspiring the generation to come, along with peers Crosby Stills and Nash, Carole King and James Taylor.

He began his career at 16, playing legendary folk clubs, like the Troubador, before taking a trip to Greenwich Village, New York City where his raw talent was noticed and he became, at 17, a staff writer for Electra Records, where he wrote for artists such as Tim Buckley, Nico and The Velvet Underground. He was called "new face to look for" by Rolling Stone magazine, and soon after before released the sublime 'Jackson Browne' with Geffen Records and gaining national, and worldwide acclaim.

This year, you can catch Browne in New York as he brings his band to the Beacon Theatre for four nights only! With a changing setlist, this is a not to be missed opportunity for Browne aficionados.

A show with something for everyone

For those with a casual interest, you got your Pretender, Everyman, Running on Empty, Doctor My Eyes, Take it Easy, Shape of a Heart, Fountain of Sorrow, I'm Alive, Looking East, These Days. You got great musicality from his razor sharp band, and you got a warmed up, very toned singing voice. You got a three hour show with a 15 minute intermission. (Hey, we ALL wanted Late for the Sky- oh well) If you weren't a dedicated fan, you may not have loved the cuts from his new album, including the brilliant Birds of St. Marks. The dedicated fans loved to hear the long explanations about each song. We all got to appreciate his wit and humor. He was playing in his backyard and felt really at home and he said so. So go!! The casual listener needs to enjoy the musicianship of the first set and wait for the crowd pleasers in the second. GREAT SHOW!! ... Read more

Vintage Jackson

Yes, his voice is loud and strong. Interacted quite a bit with the crowd. He made the mistake of telling us we were pretty quiet, because it got rather rowdy after that. Lots of cat calls, "I love you Jackson!" and song requests shouted from all over. Someone pulled the fire alarm, but no one was going anywhere. The two gospel choir ladies sang like angels, and their voices compliment Jackson's perfectly. There were a few twangy guitar chords, but all in all, a fabulous show. I also recommend Jack's Bar-b-que in downtown Nashville. The line might be long, but it's well worth the wait. Do not miss this show! ... Read more

As good as he's ever been

I’m a long time JB fan. His music has been a mainstay of my life’s soundtrack. This performance was pitch perfect. The set list, his voice and the remarkable band and backup vocalists delivered a “10”. Jackson Browne is a treasure and even his oldest songs hold up so well. ... Read more
