Tal Wilkenfeld on Tour
September 30, 2016
My good friend Tal Wilkenfeld is about to start a string of dates, one of which is opening up for the Who at the Santa Barbara bowl.
You may know her as the astonishing bassist who has played with Jeff Beck, Herbie Hancock, but I invite you to discover her as a fine singer and songwriter!
Check out Haunted Love and One Thing After Another!
Here’s a link to her tour info.
Read MoreJackson Browne Joins Little Feat and the Midnight Ramble Band in Jamaica
September 9, 2016
“Jamaica Say You Will” – This just about says it all, doesn’t it.
In a fortuitous turn of events, Bill was in San Diego enjoying a day off from touring with the Doobie Brothers, when he decided to drop by and visit his old friend Jackson Browne, who also happened to be in town performing. As the conversation went along Jackson recalled that awhile back we had mentioned the idea of him joining in the fun while we were in Jamaica, to which Billy inquired, “Well, if you don’t have any plans this January, why don’t you come on down?” Never one to shy away from a good time, this struck a chord with Jackson and he responded with an enthusiastic, ” That sounds awesome, I want to do this!”
As a result of that conversation, we are thrilled to be able to share with you that Jackson Browne, along with Greg Leisz, the acclaimed multi-instrumentalist from his band, will be joining us for the 15th Annual Feat Camp in Runaway Bay, Jamaica, January 9-13, 2017. Jackson and Greg will perform two acoustic shows as well as sitting in and generally stirring up the pot in the best way possible.
It bears repeating that Jackson and Little Feat are branches of the same family tree that grew from the LA music scene of the 70’s. They played shows together, played on each other’s records and have known each other for so long that this upcoming Feat Camp is now truly reminiscent of a family reunion, albeit in the best sense. In that same vein, what you may not know is that Jackson shares a similar connection with Larry and Theresa. Not too long ago Jackson went to Woodstock and played a Ramble and he saw first hand what an amazing scene was going on there. Soon after he was there, he invited Larry and Theresa to tour with him and had them join his band and open some shows. If you were lucky enough to have attended one of these shows you know how special they were. It appears that the branches that sprung from LA now extend all the way to Upstate New York. The musical possibilities that could emerge as a result of this gathering are tantalizing indeed!
Read MoreIndian Country: Singer Songwriter Jackson Browne Makes Statement Regarding The Dakota Access Pipeline
September 7, 2016
Editor’s note: Jackson Browne has stood in solidarity with Native peoples protecting their lands, water and lifeways for more than 37 years. His work to support Native-led efforts to protect the Earth began in 1979 when he came to the Black Hills and Four Corners area to help stop uranium mining. Through the decades, he has lent his voice, his talent, his time and his fame to raise awareness and funds for Native communities working for a safe and healthy future for us all. Thank you, Jackson, for continuing your stand and for supporting the resistance at Standing Rock.
“I met Kelcy Warren on one occasion, when I played at the Cherokee Creek Music Festival, held at his ranch. Later his company, Music Road Records, produced an album of my songs. Though I was honored by the “tribute” and think highly of the versions – which were done by some of my favorite singers and songwriters, I had nothing to do with producing the recordings or deciding who would be on it.
I do not support the Dakota Access Pipeline. I will be donating all of the money I have received from this album to date, and any money received in the future, to the tribes who are opposing the pipeline.
I did not know anything about Kelcy Warren’s other business as the production of this album went forward. Although as a music publisher there is no legal way to deny permission to a record company to cover a song that has been previously published, I could have dissuaded the artists from appearing on this record had I known. I routinely vet the companies who ask me to perform for them. I do not play for oil interests. I do not play for companies who defile nature, or companies who attack demonstrators with trained attack dogs and pepper spray. The list of companies I have denied the use of my music is long. I certainly would not have allowed my songs to be recorded by a record company whose owner’s other business does what Energy Transfer Partners is allegedly doing – threatening the water supply and the sacred sites of indigenous people.
I intend to support public resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline as much as I can.
To quote a song of mine:
“Which side?”

Jackson Browne Supporting North Carolina LGBT Groups
May 9, 2016
Jackson Browne will perform two previously postponed and rescheduled shows in North Carolina, on May 28th and June 1st.
The shows in Asheville, NC and Wilmington, NC were originally scheduled for January 8 and 22, earlier this year, but both shows were postponed due to illness and weather, respectively.
Jackson will be donating the entire net proceeds of both North Carolina shows to support local and national LGBT groups, including Equality NC and Human Rights Campaign.
Says Browne, “There are a lot of fine people in North Carolina, and some of them are transgender. I am coming to North Carolina to play for anyone and everyone, and the proceeds from my two concerts will be directed to groups working to advance equality under the law for transgender people.”

I love playing Auckland,” says Browne.
No-one can accuse Jackson Browne (67) of a boring life – as well as penning some of the most significant songs of the singer-songwriter era – Late for The Sky, Fountain of Sorrow, Too Many Angels – Browne has been a leading voice for political and environmental change, winning the John Steinbeck Award in 2002, and playing countless anti-nuclear (Browne performed here in the ’86 as part of a Rainbow Warrior fund-raiser) social issues, and art education benefits.
At the Civic Browne will be playing with his six-piece band – including in-demand guitarist Greg Leisz – who recently contributed some stunning work to Lucinda Williams’ recent albums.
“I love playing Auckland,” says Browne.
“Actually I love Auckland even when I’m not playing there! And I love this band. I think it’s my best band and to be down in this part of the world and to get to play is a real thrill for all of us.”
Jackson Browne performs with his band on April 3 at The Civic Theatre. For complete tour and ticketing details, visit: www.livenation.co.nz.
