Jackson Browne on Tour

I’m virtually put in a spot to group him as the expression ‘classic rock’, only because I grew up during that age, but one of the master’s of classic rock is about to take the stage over and over and tour. Our good ol’ friend Jackson Browne has let the cat out of the bag, unleashing over 20 show days, starting in early June 2012. This year’s Jackson Browne tour consists of the usual concert stops that his show typically appears at. Sticking to what works, Jackson Browne will perform at smaller, comfy theaters and outdoor parks, festivals and amphitheaters. Jackson Browne is as sincere and straight up as they come and you can get it in his song writing. As a fabulous musician, songwriter and entertainer, catching Jackson Browne live in concert is something you really need to experience for yourself. His music his so real and is welling with emotion and feelings. Without even realizing it, I lay odds you know at least 10 of his songs and they’re all classics that will always bring new fans. The previously announced 24 or so Jackson Brown concerts span from the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles on June 9th, on past August 15th at Cain Park in Cleveland. At least one stop will be at The Beacon Theatre in New York City on August 3rd. More shows and dates are sure to be included in the Jackson Browne Tour and will be updated here as they are Officially Released.

Jack White Tour

It felt as if the earth shattered when I heard the news that The White Stripes where ending their music career as a band. I thought to my self, ‘No more White Stripes albums?’ But alas, Jack White has graced us with some solo music and a small Jack White Tour. Only a handful of 2012 Jack White Tour Dates have been announced so far, but it should be enough for all you White Stripes fans out there.
If you want to see his latest video ‘Love Interruption’,visit the Jack White Tour site. His new album called Blunderbuss, is due out the end of April 2012, but if you see him concert before then, you will definitely get a sneak peak of his new music.
