Jackson
Browne has written and performed some of the most literate and moving songs in
popular music and has defined a genre of songwriting charged with honesty,
emotion, and personal politics. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame in 2004 and the Songwriter's Hall of Fame in 2007. Except for a brief
period in NYC in the late 1960s, Jackson has always lived in Southern
California. His debut album came out on David Geffen’s Asylum Records in 1972.
Since then, he has released fourteen studio albums and four collections of live
performances. His most recent studio album, “Standing In The Breach”, 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. Browne is known for his advocacy on behalf of the environment, human
rights, and arts education. He’s a co-founder of the groups MUSE (Musicians
United for Safe Energy) and Nukefree.org and a member of the Ocean advocacy
group, Ocean Elders. In 2002, he was the fourth recipient of the John Steinbeck
Award, given to artists whose works exemplify the environmental and social
values that were essential to the great California-born author. He has received
Duke University’s LEAF (Lifetime Environmental Achievement in the Fine Arts)
award, and both the Chapin-World Hunger Year and NARM Harry Chapin Humanitarian
Awards. In 2004, Jackson was given an honorary Doctorate of Music by Occidental
College in Los Angeles, for “…a remarkable musical career that has successfully
combined an intensely personal artistry with a broader vision of social
justice.”
