Jackson Browne

Jackson Browne at Academy of Music

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.

For So Many Years. Jackson Browne

Jackson is always good. All my life. I grew up in MD and he was always on the college circuit in and around DC. A lot. So he’s been a really important part of my musical life. I was at Merriweather PP in MD when Running on Empty was recorded. Jackson Browne’s music and lyrics have saved my life many times. In my top 5. One of the many artists that has evolved positively and profoundly influenced my music/radio career. Forever thankful to Jackson Browne. I always get tix in the back row….so I can dance. The Hard Rock is a perfect place to do that! Not a bad seat in the venue. Thank you Hard Rock. With thanks and love to Jackson Browne. XO ... Read more

Jackson helped ease me into turning 70 this month- GREAT concert!

My first time going to the OrlandoDr Phillips Center- he was in the beautiful Disney theatre in it and the entire concert was great! His writing & musicianship was always incredible & his voice seems to have only become stronger, perhaps from the deepening of voices that generallly happens with age. He truly made easing into this new decade easy as I watch and with him move through the years that then become decades. One of his songs kept me alive during the hardest times & still depend on his music for moments matching any and all moods and spirits.... Thank you Jackson ~ ... Read more

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
