Over the course of more than three decades, Jackson Browne has written and performed some of the most literate and moving songs in popular music. With classic albums including Late For The Sky, The Pretender, Running On Empty and For Everyman, and songs like "Doctor My Eyes," "Rock Me On The Water" and "Lives In The Balance," he has defined a genre of songwriting that is charged with honesty, emotion and personal politics.

Jackson's artistry was recognized with his 2004 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He also received in 2004 an honorary Doctorate of Music from 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."

Browne's last album release was 2005's GRAMMY®-nominated Jackson Browne Solo Acoustic Vol. 1, presenting twelve songs culled from his acclaimed solo acoustic concerts performed worldwide. He is currently working in the studio on a new album.

FIRST TIME IN THE ANTELOPE VALLEY

It all started with a hit - 6 Tonys - 6 Oscars. Selling out on Broadway, across North America and in London's West End, Chicago is as hot as ever! Based on the 1926 play by Maurine Dallas Watkins (which was based on real events), Chicago is, as we are told in the show’s opening lines, “a story of murder, greed, corruption, violence, exploitation, adultery and treachery -- all the things we hold near and dear to our hearts." The story revolves around Roxie Hart, a nightclub dancer who dreams of starring in vaudeville. She kills her lover, nightclub regular Fred Casely, and convinces her husband to front the money to hire Chicago's shrewdest defense lawyer. The lawyer, Billy Flynn, turns her crime of passion into celebrity headlines, and Roxie becomes the toast of Chicago until other crimes pull the limelight away from her. Book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse, music byJohn Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb.
