Live Nation is very proud to present
AN EVENING WITH JACKSON BROWNE
MESA ARTS CENTER
APRIL 14, 2008
Phoenix, AZ (February 6, 2008) – On March 4, 2008, singer-songwriter Jackson Browne will release JACKSON BROWNE–SOLO ACOUSTIC, VOL. 2, the second in a series of live albums recorded at recent solo concerts in the U.S., the U.K. and Australia. In support of the album release Jackson Browne will make a stop in Mesa to perform at Ikeda Theater on Monday, April 14. The show will begin at 7:30 pm.
Building on 2005’s critically acclaimed and GRAMMY®-nominated Jackson Browne – Solo Acoustic, Vol. 1, VOL.2 features twelve career spanning songs, with Browne alternately on both guitar and piano. Also like its predecessor, it features lively exchanges between Jackson and his audiences. The disc will be available on the artist’s own Inside Recordings label, with distribution through ADA.
Two selections from JACKSON BROWNE – SOLO ACOUSTIC, VOL. 2, “Something Fine” and “Redneck Friend,” reach back to the artist’s landmark 1972 self-titled debut album, about which Rolling Stone wrote in its original review, “Jackson Browne’s sensibility is romantic in the best sense of the term: his songs are capable of generating a highly charged, compelling atmosphere throughout, and – just as important – of sustaining that pitch in the listener’s mind long after they’ve ended.”
That rapt connection is felt throughout JACKSON BROWNE–SOLO ACOUSTIC, VOL. 2., which also features four songs from Browne’s most recent studio album, 2002’s The Naked Ride Home: “Never Stop,” “The Night Inside Me,” “My Stunning Mystery Companion” and “Casino Nation”. Other highlights include “In The Shape Of A Heart,” from 1987’s Lives In The Balance, “Sky Blue And Black” from 1993’s I’m Alive, “Alive In This World” from ‘96’s Looking East and the 1982 Top 10 hit “Somebody’s Baby,” originally featured on the Fast Times At Ridgemont High soundtrack.
Throughout his career, Jackson Browne has defined a genre of songwriting and performing charged with honesty, emotion and personal politics. He’s been honored with inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (2004) and the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame (2007). As influential and enduring as Browne’s music is his legacy as an advocate for social and environmental justice. Recent humanitarian honors include the John Steinbeck Award and the Chapin-World Hunger Year Harry Chapin Humanitarian Award. In 2007, Browne re-united with his Musicians United For Safe Energy (MUSE) co-founders Graham Nash and Bonnie Raitt to oppose a revival of the nuclear energy industry.
