Event

Songs of Jackson Browne

A collaboration of fine local musicians is joining together to perform "Songs of Jackson Browne" with a tip of the hat to Glenn Frey and The Eagles. The core band for this event is Billy Schieve, Jamie Gilliam and Lonny Nason of Soul Survivors, and Johnny Bush of The Might T-Bones and Azul. Special guests are Marcus McCallen, Sherry Lea Jones, Sue Sisk, Pattie DeMatteo, Philip Dunn and Sean Van Buskirk.

As a focus of the evening, Jackson Browne's music will be very familiar because of the songs he has written and recorded like Runnin' on Empty, Doctor My Eyes, Rock Me on the Water, The Pretender, Before the Deluge - and the many musicians who have covered his tunes, from Bonnie Raitt to Pearl Jam, Don Henley to the Eagles, Tom Rush, Karla Bonoff, Linda Ronstandt and Emmylou Harris, New Grass Revival and Greg Allman.

As a special acknowledgement to Glenn Frey, some Eagles tunes will be performed. Glenn Frey was a good friend and neighbor of Jackson Browne when they both started out in LA. They co-wrote the song "Take It Easy". At the Grammy Awards ceremony this year, "Browne, standing front and center with his Gibson acoustic guitar,took lead vocals on the traveler's tale as the rest of the Eagles added backing vocals and harmonies, standing in front of a giant photo of Frey."

Doors open at 6PM with full bar and casual dining.
