Jackson Browne Announces February 2015 U.S. Tour Dates In Support Of His New Album, Standing In The Breach

November 11, 2014

Singer-songwriter Jackson Browne announces additional U.S. tour dates beginning February 2015 to support his new studio album, Standing In The Breach. Advance tickets available beginning this week.

Accompanying Jackson on the road this February are longtime band mates Val McCallum (guitar), Mauricio Lewak (Drums), Jeff Young (keyboards) and Bob Glaub (bass), with the addition of acclaimed multi-instrumentalist Greg Leisz (guitar, lap steel, pedal steel). Standing In The Breach, Jackson’s new studio album, is a collection of ten songs, at turns deeply personal and political, exploring love, hope, and defiance in the face of the advancing uncertainties of modern life.

This is my ideal band, with some of my favorite players, all of whom appear on the new CD, and whose combined gifts provide the musical foundation and emotional underpinnings of my new songs, says Jackson. The interplay between Val McCallum and Greg Leisz on this album – the effortlessness of their chemistry is a gift really, that just dropped into my lap. I feel fortunate to have them out on the road for this tour.

Currently, Jackson Browne is on a sold out tour with his band in the UK. Last week, he announced 2015 dates in both Japan (March), and Italy (May). For more information, visit www.jacksonbrowne.com/tour.

Jackson Browne: Standing In The Breach Album Review

October 7, 2014

Jackson Brownes new album is a masterclass in Americana says Harry Mulligan.

The new Jackson Browne album, Standing In The Breach, his fourteenth studio LP, is classically, monumentally and colossally Jackson Browne. Period! He cleverly holds a mirror up to a heavily dichotomous and divided America, but not before revisiting that gentle easy groove of yesteryear in his first two tracks, The Birds of Saint Marks (the albums first single) and Yeah Yeah.

The opening track was written some years ago when Browne lived in the Parish of St Mark in New York City. In the second track we hear more from the man with the long love affair with love, before we start to see glimpses of the old politicized Browne that we know and love, Rock n Roll Hall of Fame inductee that he is.
