THE CONCERTS AT WENTE VINEYARDS 2016
J
ackson Browne has written and per-
formed some of the most literate and
moving songs in popular music and has
defined a genre of songwriting charged
with honesty, emotion and personal poli-
tics. He was honored with induction into the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, and the
Songwriter's Hall of Fame in 2007.
Jackson's career began in the mid-60s in Los
Angeles and Orange County folk clubs. Except
for a brief period in NYC in the late 1960s, he
has always lived in Southern California. His
debut album came out on David Geffen's Asy-
lum Records in 1972. Since then, he has re-
leased 14 studio albums and four collections of
live performances.
His new studio album, Standing In The
Breach, is a collection of 10 songs, at turns
deeply personal and political, exploring love,
hope, and defiance in the face of the advanc-
ing uncertainties of modern life.
Beyond his music, Browne is known for his
advocacy on behalf of the environment,
human rights, and arts education. He's a co-
founder of the groups Musicians United for
Safe Energy (MUSE) and Nukefree.org.
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 Califor-
nia-born author. He has received Duke Univer-
sity's LEAF award for Lifetime Environmental
Achievement in the Fine Arts, and both the
Chapin-World Hunger Year and NARM Harry
Chapin Humanitarian Awards. In 2004, Jack-
son Browne was given an honorary Doctorate
of Music by Occidental College in Los Ange-
les, for "a remarkable musical career that has
successfully combined an intensely personal
artistry with a broader vision of social justice."
