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

Never Disappointed

First saw Jackson at Red Rocks in the 70’s. I have seen him in concert about 8 times or so since then. I have always looked forward to listening to him on a regular basis. I have never left one of his concerts disappointed. That said, I feel like I have grown up with him, learned and shared in the experiences of the times. I have friends who really have no similar feelings as these. I think that if he speaks to you through his lyrics, you will enjoy his live concerts as well. Have I wished the venue would have been better or wished he played a few songs that I would have loved to hear that night, sure! That’s not on him. I would love to thank him personally for his contributions to music and the positive influence he has been to me for many years. ... Read more

Blown Away

An amazing show - Jackson Browne sounds just like he did 50 yrs. ago (still so talented). Each and every one of his band along with the back up singers were phenomenal. Show started exactly on time, no pre-performance band, they played for 3 hours with a short intermission, perfect! and a surprise sit in by Bruce Hornsby. FANTASTIC SHOW!!! highly recommend! ...
