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!

Jackson 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!

Indian 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:

New York, NY (Sept. 13, 2016) – Organizers of the Concert Across America to End Gun Violence today announced that Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam has joined the lineup for the nationwide concert’s headliner event at New York’s Beacon Theatre on September 25 – the Congressionally-designated date to remember murder victims.

The Beacon Theatre is among 250 venues nationwide where more than 1,000 artists will lend their voices and mobilize to make the country’s epidemic of gun violence a voting issue in the November elections. Spearheaded by Massachusettsbased Stop Handgun Violence (SHV) partnering with Faiths United to Prevent Gun Violence and dozens of other organizations, the Concert Across America to End Gun Violence will feature performances at a diverse array of venues ranging from churches and school gymnasiums to honkytonks, theatres and hotel rooftops.

From the Rooftop at the Standard in Los Angeles and Lola’s Trailer Park in Fort Worth, TX, to the Brighton Music Hall in Boston and the Arlington Theatre in Santa Barbara, CA, artists will give voice to the more than five hundred thousand Americans murdered by a firearm since the mass shooting at the University of Texas on Aug. 1, 1966.

“Every day in America over 90 people die and 200 are injured from largely preventable gun violence. It’s time we all take a stand against the epidemic of gun violence and hold our elected officials accountable. This coast-to-coast concert and mobilizing effort will ensure that gun violence prevention is front and center in the November elections and beyond,” SHV Founder John Rosenthal said.
